Abstract
A modified model of adjuvant arthritis is described that permits simultaneous quantitative measurement of the humoral and the cellular immune response to a secondary immunogen (mouse lymphoma EL4 cells) in the arthritic rat. Application of the new model system to mechanism studies is illustrated with cyclophosphamide. The drug is shown to suppress adjuvant arthritis by a combined anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive action.
