| Abstract | Immunisation with heterologous type II collagen (CII) induces arthritis in mice of the DBA/1 strain, which is genetically susceptible to this disease. To develop an experimental model of autoimmunity more adequate for the study of human rheumatoid arthritis (RA), DBA/1 mice were injected with 100 micrograms of native CII that had been purified from mouse xiphoid cartilage. About six weeks later the animals developed a chronic progressive polyarthritis involving the four paws but mainly confined to interphalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints. The evolution of the disease fluctuated between remissions and exacerbations. The initial lesions assessed by clinical observations were more severe when the disease occurred early than in the case of late onset. Interestingly, the incidence of arthritis was clearly preponderant in males, and, moreover, the few female mice which developed arthritis had mild disease states with lower arthritic scores than the males. Varying levels of autoantibodies against mouse CII were found in the sera of immunised animals, regardless of the development of arthritis. These data indicate that the injection of homologous CII into mice caused a polyarthritis that is clinically closer to the human RA than the disease induced with heterologous CII and therefore will represent a useful tool for the study of the self-perpetuating mechanisms that characterise RA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
