Abstract excerpt
Using genetic linkage analysis of proteoglycan-induced arthritis (PGIA), a murine model for rheumatoid arthritis, we identified two loci, Pgia8 and Pgia9, on chromosome 15 (chr15) that appear to be implicated in disease susceptibility. Immunization of congenic strains carrying the entire chr15 and separately each of the two loci of DBA/2 arthritis-resistant origin in susceptible BALB/c background confirmed...
