Monoclonal Antibody Cocktail Arthritis Induction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cocktails of the monoclonal antibodies including Cab3, anti-CII antibody cocktail (positive control), and isotype antibody cocktail (negative control) were prepared by mixing equal amounts of each sterile filtered antibody solution to achieve a final concentration of 2 or 4 mg. Mice were injected intravenously (i.v.) with the antibody cocktail (Cab3) composed of M2139, L10D9, and 15A11. For the induction of lpsCAIA (Cab-induced and LPS-enhanced arthritis), the mice received (50 μg/mouse) lipopolysaccharide from Escherichia coli O55: B5 (Sigma-Aldrich) intraperitoneally (i.p.) on day 5. For the induction of mCAIA (Cab-induced mannan-enhanced arthritis), the mice received (5 mg/mouse) mannan (Sigma-Aldrich) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae i.p. on days 5 and 60. Signs of arthritis in the paws were followed up macroscopically with blind scoring of each red and swollen joint following a previously described protocol [35 ]. Briefly, macroscopic (clinical) arthritis was defined based on the two following criteria, swelling and redness, and was scored as follows: 1 point was for each inflamed toe or knuckle, whereas 1–5 points were given to an inflamed wrist or ankle according to the severity of disease, resulting in a score of 0 to 15 for each paw and 0 to 60 points for each mouse. Importantly, paws which were still swollen but without erythema were not scored or defined as arthritis.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
