    Abstract : The immunopathogenesis of three arthritis models has been studied; oil-induced arthritis (OIA), homologous collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and COMP-induced arthritis. The induction of a monophasic arthritis, OIA, in the DA rat with a single intradermal injection of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (FIA) was reported. READ MORE
