Systemic Administration of Proteoglycan Protects BALB/c Retired Breeder Mice from Experimental Arthritis
Table 1
Arthritis prevalence and severity in mice previously inoculated with proteoglycan. Arthritis score was daily evaluated and disease severity was assessed by a visual scoring system with total score ranging from 0 to 16 for each animal. Score above eight indicates severe arthritis. These parameters were compiled 70 days after arthritis induction. Control (+): arthritic group not previously injected with PG; 2xPG50, 2xPG100, and 3xPG50: arthritic groups previously injected with two (50 μg), two (100 μg), or three (50 μg) PG doses, respectively. Data from two independent experiments were combined.
