immune system
• T cells from mice immunized with human collagen have higher responses to collagen-derived peptides
• in almost all cases, these peptides need to be presented by the transgenic MHC-complex and not the endogenous MHC to elicit a response
|
• mice are highly susceptible to arthritis induced by human collagen with incidence rates between 88% to 100% by 50 days post-injection
• mice have marked swelling and erythema of the hind and fore paws after human collagen administration
• inflammation frequently includes the wrist and ankle with massive infiltration of inflammatory cells leading to erosion of articular surfaces
• littermate control mice do not develop disease when injected human collagen
|
• mice immunized with human collagen produce at least 5-fold more antibody to mouse collagen than do non-transgenic controls
