abstract：:Previous studies directed towards identifying epitopes on type II collagen (CII) important in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) in mice have focused primarily on responses mounted in susceptible H-2q strains. However, the nature of T and B cell responses against CII in susceptible H-2r strains remains ill-defined. In a...
