Figure 2From: Collagen II antibody-induced arthritis in Tg1278TNFko mice: optimization of a novel model to assess treatments targeting human TNFα in rheumatoid arthritis CAIA in Tg1278TNFko animals in the presence or absence of LPS challenge. Arthritis was induced in male mice by i.p. injection of 2, 4 or 8 mg collagen II antibody cocktail (CAb) on Day 0. The effects of administering 10 μg LPS i.p. 4 days later on arthritis scores are shown in A, and on bodyweights in B. C, shows arthritis scores in the absence of LPS challenge and D shows effects on bodyweight. Data are means +/- s.e.m., n = 5-7/group.Back to article page
