Collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) is a simple mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis that can be used to address questions of pathogenic mechanisms and to screen candidate therapeutic agents. Arthritis is stimulated by the administration of a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies that are directed to conserved auto-antigenic epitopes in collagen type II, followed by endotoxin. The antibody-induced arthritis model offers several key advantages over the classic collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model. These include rapid disease onset, high uptake rate, synchronicity, and the capacity to use genetically modified mice, such as transgenics and knockouts. This protocol takes 1–2 weeks to be completed.
