title: Lentivirus infection augments concurrent antigen-induced arthritis.
abstract: Experimental antigen-induced arthritis was compared in normal goats and goats infected with caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus. Although acute arthritis was the same in infected and uninfected animals, the disease lasted 16 weeks longer in the caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus-infected goats. Our findings suggest that the arthritis caused by this virus is due to events other than, or in addition to, the immune reaction to viral antigens.
