Abstract excerpt
Macaques are useful animal models for studying the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the development of anti-rheumatic drugs. The purpose of this study was to identify the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) polymorphisms associated with the pathology of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and anti-collagen IgG induction in a cynomolgus macaque model, as MHC polymorphisms affect the onset of CIA in...
