چکیده

Arthritis was induced by immunization of type II collagen in adjuvant in mice from H-2q-bearing crosses between SWR (H-2q/q) and B10 (H-2b/b mice), two strains known to be resistant to collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). The resistance of B10 is known to be due to its MHC haplotype, but it was postulated that the resistance of SWR mice which expresses the susceptible MHC haplotype could be due to the deletion of close to 50% of the V beta genes of the T cell receptor (TCR) in them. 17% of the F1 hybrids, 33% of the SWR backcrosses, 68% of the B10 backcrosses, and 52% of the F2 hybrids developed arthritis on follow-up to 5 mo after primary immunization with collagen. There was no significant difference in anti-type II collagen antibody titers between the arthritic and nonarthritic mice in each of these crosses. The segregation of the TCR genes with arthritis was determined in the F2 population by typing with F23.1 mAb that reacts with T cells using V beta 8 subfamily genes in their TCRs. SWR mice are F23.1- as V beta 8 genes are deleted in them. All six of arthritic mice homozygous for H-2q, and thus with an H-2 haplotype similar to SWR mice, expressed the F23.1 marker. These studies indicate that for complete susceptibility to collagen-induced arthritis, not only is a susceptible MHC haplotype (H-2q) important, but possibly also the presence of a subset of T cells using certain specific V beta genes in their TCRs. Other background genes may, however, modulate the severity of arthritis.

Collagen-induced arthritis in T cell receptor V beta congenic B10.Q mice

B10.Q (H-2q) mice congenic for the truncated T cell receptor (TCR) V beta a and V beta c haplotypes were derived to examine the influence of TCR V beta genomic deletions in murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). Previous studies using gene complementation and segregation analyses suggested that in SWR (H-2q) mice, possession of the V beta a gene deletion results in CIA resistance. However, ot...

The Effect of Human Recombinant Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor-2 on Reducing Inflammatory of Collagen -Induced Arthritis in Balb/c Mice

Background: The tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) is a cytokine that produced principally by monocyte/macrophages and T lymphocytes, respectively. TNFα is recognized as the primary mediator of immunity in inflammation reaction.  One important application of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) is for the treatment of autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA).<br /...

Protective role of major histocompatibility complex class II Ebd transgene on collagen-induced arthritis

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is an animal model of autoimmune inflammatory polyarthritis that has features similar to rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Much like RA, susceptibility to mouse CIA is influenced by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), H-2, and restricted to the H-2q and H-2r haplotypes. Whereas the role of the H-2A molecule in susceptibility to CIA is well established, little i...

Immunization with T cell receptor V beta chain peptides deletes pathogenic T cells and prevents the induction of collagen-induced arthritis in mice.

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in susceptible strains of mice is an animal model of T cell-mediated inflammatory polyarthritis. Analysis of T cell receptor (TCR) V beta gene usage in cells isolated from arthritic joints of BUB/BnJ (BUB) mice (H-2q, TCR V beta a) showed that TCR V beta chain gene usage was limited to TCR V beta 3 and V beta 10 gene families. All of the BUB mice immunized with ...
