Abstract excerpt
Collagen-induced arthritis is a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is commonly induced after immunization with type II collagen (CII) of a non-mouse origin. T cell recognition of heterologous CII epitopes has been shown to be critical in development of arthritis, as mice with cartilage-restricted transgenic expression of the heterologous T cell epitope (MMC mice) are partially tolerized to CII. However,...
