Arthrogen-CIA® Highly Purified Type I & II Collagen

Immunization Grade Collagen and Adjuvant

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) shares both immunological and pathological features with human rheumatoid arthritis (RA), therefore it has been used extensively as a model to study the pathogenesis of RA and for testing therapeutics.  Chondrex provides various species of highly purified Arthrogen-CIA® type II collagen for the induction of arthritis in animal models, supplied in lyophilized or solution form.

Susceptibility to CIA is dependent upon the species of type II collagen used for immunization as shown in the table below (see references 1 & 2), and is also linked to MHC class II molecules.

 

Susceptibility to CIA in mice, rats, and monkeys depends on both MHC haplotypes and species of type II collagen used for immunization.

ELISA Grade

CIA animals generate high levels of antibody to autologous type II collagen.  To assay antibody levels, highly purified type II collagen from various species is available.

This collagen is specially prepared for coating ELISA plates and is supplied as a 100x concentrated solution.  Each vial contains enough collagen to coat ten, 96 well plates.  To prevent fibril formation, 10X dilution buffer is also supplied.  Also available are complete type II collagen antibody ELISA kits.

Type I collagen, which has very high homology to type II collagen, from various species is also available to determine the cross-reactivity of antibodies to this collagen type.
