A fructosylated peptide derived from a collagen II T cell epitope for long-term treatment of arthritis (FIA-CIA) in mice
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease which affects primarily the joints. Peptides of several proteins have shown an effect in some experimental animal models of RA. We investigated arthritis development in male DBA/1 mice which were injected with bovine co...
