Figure 4From: Collagen II antibody-induced arthritis in Tg1278TNFko mice: optimization of a novel model to assess treatments targeting human TNFα in rheumatoid arthritis Effects of etanercept on CAIA in Tg1278TNFko animals. Arthritis was induced in male and female mice by i.p. injection of 8 mg collagen II antibody cocktail (CAb) on Day 0 followed by 10 μg LPS i.p. 1 day later. A shows the effects of dosing etanercept at 0.03, 0.3, 3 or 30 mg/kg i.v. for the first dose with subsequent doses s.c. from 6 hours post LPS administration with individual animal data expressed as area under curve (AUC) arthritis score shown in B. C, shows the effects of etanercept dosing at 30 mg/kg from 6 hours, 2 days or 4 days post LPS with individual animal data shown in D. Data are means +/- s.e.m., n = 8/group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 comparison with the vehicle control group.Back to article page
