- Where errors are shown, results are means ± SD. aOne generation intercrossed C9T-DQ and littermate control females were immunized with 50 μg of CII. bPure lines of C9T-BQ and B10.Q male mice were immunized with 100 μg of CII. cOne generation intercrossed male C9T-DQ and littermate controls were randomly and pooled blind. dAnti-CII antibody-induced arthritis on pure line of male C9T-BQ (homozygous Ab) and male B10.Q (wild-type Ab), and controls injected with PBS (homozygous PBS). eHomozygous mice were significantly higher in score (p < 0.05) than both heterozygous (if present) and wild type, respectively. There were no other significant differences between the groups within the experiments. fHomozygous mice were significantly higher in score (p = 0.025) than wild type but not heterozygous. There were no other significant differences between the groups. gHomozygous mice that received Ab had a significantly earlier onset (p = 0.035) with six arthritic mice before lipopolysaccharide injection, than their wild-type counterpart. Two homozygous mice injected with Ab also developed knee inflammation at days 4 and 6, which were not seen in wild-type Ab.
