Treatment of arthritis by macrophage depletion and immunomodulation: Testing an apoptosis‐mediated therapy in a humanized death receptor mouse model
17 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the therapeutic efficacy and immunomodulatory effect of an anti-human death receptor 5 (DR5) antibody, TRA-8, in eliminating macrophage subsets in a mouse model of type II collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). METHODS: A human/mouse-chimeric DR5-transgenic mouse, under the regulation of a mouse 3-kb promoter and a loxP-flanked STOP cassette, was generated and crossed with an ubiquitous Cre...
