Effect of excising Freund's adjuvant granuloma on subsequent development of experimental allergic arthritis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rabbits were immunized with antigen in Freund's complete adjuvant. Several weeks later the granuloma which developed was excised one day before joint challenge with antigen. The subsequent development of experimental allergic arthritis (EAA) was not affected, which argues against the chronicity of the disease being maintained by continuous recruitment of mycobacterial debris to EAA joints.

Formation of granuloma and production of antibodies in guinea-pigs receiving egg albumen with Freund's adjuvant may be suppressed by cortisone (Fischel, Kabat, Stoerk, Skolnick, and Bezer, 1954). The arthritis induced in rats by Freund's adjuvant may also be prevented by treatment with cortisone (e.g. Houssay and Frangione, 1961; Pearson, Wood, and Waksman, 1961), pyrazolidines, salicylates, an...

Extract of Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw) has become the focus of research as a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of rheumatic arthritis and pain due to its favorable side effects profile compared to synthetic alternatives. This superior safety of treatment is very valuable, especially in view of that in mandatory long duration of therapy in chronic diseases. None of NS...
متن کاملThe Role of Mycobacteria and the Effect of Proteolytic Degradation of Thyroglobulin on the Production of Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Data are presented which suggest that the initial event involved in experimental autoimmune thyroiditis following injection of rabbits with homologous thyroglobulin in complete Freund's adjuvant is alteration of the thyroglobulin. Alteration of the thyroglobulin does not occur during incorporation into the adjuvant or in vitro storage in the adjuvant, and the mycobacteria in the adjuvant have n...
متن کاملEffect of yttrium 90 on experimental allergic arthritis in rabbits.
Seventeen rabbits were immunized with complete Freund's adjuvant and bovine serum albumin by the method of Dumonde and Glynn (1962), as modified by Cooke and Jasin (1972). Fifteen weeks after allergic arthritis developed in the knee joint, 8 animals were given an injection of 20 muCi yttrium 90 (90Y) into the left joint cavity; 7 were injected with 400 muCi. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 4,...

Daily treatment with cyclosporin at a dose of 25 mg/kg for 14 d gave complete suppression of the development of collagen arthritis and adjuvant arthritis in Sprague-Dawley rats during an observation period of 45 d. To study whether the immunologic unresponsiveness produced by cyclosporin is antigen specific, we rechallenged the cyclosporin-protected rats with either type II collagen or complete...
