Abstract excerpt
To determine the relationship between susceptibility to bovine type XI and II (BXI and BII) collagen-induced arthritis, we immunized 14 inbred and one outbred strains of rats with BXI and BII. Susceptibility to BXI-arthritis corresponded largely with susceptibility, or resistance, to BII-arthritis. LEW, BB, WF, DA, and WKY were readily susceptible to BXI- and BII-arthritis. Likewise, BII-resistant F344 and BN...
