Abstract excerpt
Canine immune-mediated polyarthritis (IMPA) is an idiopathic disorder encompassing both erosive and non-erosive forms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a clinical picture similar to human RA. Resemblance in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-associated risk between the two was first noted within the specific amino acid motif known as the shared epitope (SE) on human leukocyte antigen DRB1. Following further...
