INVESTIGATION OF CHRONIC INFLAMMATION IN CGD

The Institute of Child Health, London
2 Year Project Grant: £109,682, started in June 2003
Patients with CGD can now overcome many infections with new antibiotics, but inflammation can have a serious impact on their quality of life. This project will study the mechanisms involved in tissue inflammation and granulomas (abscesses) in CGD patients. The current project will build on the group's previous findings and further examine the mechanisms behind the lack of production of certain key anti-inflammatory factors in CGD cells and investigate if specific drugs can affect their production. This project will help develop better therapies for the prevention and treatment of inflammation in CGD.
