Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To develop a new mouse model for arthritis using cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and to study the role of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and Ncf1 genes in COMP-induced arthritis (COMPIA). METHODS: Native (pentameric) and denatured (monomeric) COMP purified from a rat chondrosarcoma was injected into mice with Freund's adjuvant to induce arthritis.
