  1. Comparisons were done between 2 mg/4 mg Cab3 and 2 mg/4 mg anti-CII in regard to max arthritis score. Significant difference was observed between two groups. Cab3: M2139 + L10D9 + 15A11; anti-CII: M2139 + UL1 + CIIC1 + CIIC2. B-LPS before lipopolysaccharide injection, A-LPS after lipopolysaccharide injection. 2 mg Cab3 vs 2 mg anti-CII: *p < 0.05; 4 mg Cab3 vs 4 mg anti-CII: ^p < 0.05, ^^p < 0.01. The two-tailed Mann-Whitney U test was used to calculate the level of significance
