An animal model of food allergic arthritis.
Progress in understanding rheumatoid arthritis has been slow in large part because no widely accepted animal model exists that clearly reflects naturally occurring human disease, and because the clinical expression of rheumatoid arthritis may represent multiple etiologies with shared or subtly different immunopathogenic pathways. New insights about pathogenesis and causes are needed to understand this disease and ultimately to care for patients better.
