immune system
• larger numbers of cells from the spleen and lymph nodes of arthritic null animals migrate into the joints of arthritic mice than cells from wild-type mice
|
• lymph node cells taken on day 14 from immunized mice produce significantly larger amounts of IFNG in response to stimulation by denatured CII or concanavalin A; cells obtained from mice on day 28 also produce greater amounts of IFNG in response to CII, but not concanavalin A
|
• 6 weeks after initial CII immunization, joints of nulls showed more severe inflammation than wild-type
|
• mice have an earlier arthritis onset after CII immunization and a higher incidence (55.3% by day 33 versus 25.7% by day42 in wild-type) than wild-type
