Autoimmunity to type II collagen an experimental model of arthritis
We have found that intradermal injection of native type II collagen extracted from human, chick or rat cartilage induces an inflammatory arthritis in approximately 40% of rats of several strains whether complete Freund's adjuvant or incomplete Freund's adjuvant is used. Type I or III collagen extracted from skin, cartilage proteoglycans and alpha1(II) chains were incapable of eliciting arthriti...
متن کاملAutoimmunity to citrullinated type II collagen in rheumatoid arthritis
The production of autoantibodies to citrullinated type II collagen and the citrullination of type II collagen were analyzed in rheumatoid arthritis. Autoantibodies to citrullinated type II collagen were detected in 78.5% of serum samples from 130 rheumatoid arthritis patients. Autoantibodies to native noncitrullinated type II collagen were detected in 14.6% of serum samples, all of which were p...
متن کاملAutoantibodies to type II collagen in rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Meaning and clinical interest
Type II collagen (CII) is the major protein in articular cartilage. Autoantibodies to native and denatured CII (anti-CII) have been reported in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The real meaning of the anti-CII antibodies appearance is still an open question. Anti-CII antibodies may occur more commonly very early in the disease course, suggesting that these auto...
متن کاملCollagen autoimmunity and arthritis.
Collagen-induced arthritis in animals is an example of polyarthritis that sufficiently resembles human rheumatoid arthritis to be used as a model. It is caused by immunizing susceptible animals with type II collagen isolated from articular cartilage. Susceptibility is genetically determined and linked to the major histocompatibility locus. It is important because some human arthritis is also as...
متن کاملType Ii Collagen - Induced Arthritis in Mice
The induction of immunological reactivity to type II collagen, a major component of cartilage, has recently been used to establish an experimental model of arthritis in the rat (1). Trentham and colleagues (1) have shown that the intradermal injection of collagen in Freund's complete or incomplete adjuvant elicits an arthritogenic reaction, specifically with native type II collagen. Arthritis o...
