Figure 2From: Mice expressing HLA-DQ6α8β transgenes develop polychondritis spontaneouslyRepresentative photographs of relapsing/remitting auricular chondritis in DQ6α8β transgenic expressing mice. Ears were photographed at each of the clinical stages of auricular chondritis occurring in spontaneous polychondritis: (a) a normal, nonchondritic ear; (b) an acute chondritic ear in an inflamed cycle; (c) an acute chondritic ear in an noninflamed cycle; and (d) a chronically chondritic ear in which the cartilage has been destroyed.Back to article page
