Abstract
CIA can be viewed as a multifactorial animal model of experimentally-induced autoimmunity that is targeted to joint tissues and under multiple gene control. Thus, although induction of CIA requires immune reactivity to type II collagen, a high immune response to type II collagen is not pathognomonic of CIA, indicating that determinant specificity is of crucial importance. Also, both RT1-linked and non-RT1-linked gene directed functions are involved in the final clinical response to immunization with type II collagen. RT1-linked control is likely exerted at the level of Class II (Ia) molecules (as it is in mice) with inherent selectivity of arthritogenic vs non-arthritogenic epitopes for presentation to the immune response system; non-RT1-linked control may reflect genes controlling T-cell receptors, immunoglobulin subtypes or complement components. There is also evidence that the effects of potentially pathological anti-collagen autoimmunity may in some strains be muted or even obviated by other non-RT1 gene controlled traits that are not directly related to the immune system. These general conclusions are in close accord with those of other investigators who have carefully conducted extensive and in-depth studies of the immunogenetics of CIA in mice. CIA is obviously not an exact model of any one of the more common rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. In fact, it is more closely analogous to polychondritis and some of the other sero-negative connective tissue diseases. However, CIA remains an extremely useful model in attempts to understand the genetic and environmental factors which influence a specific and definable autoimmune process--anti-collagen reactivity. In turn, autoimmunity to collagen, and to other autoantigens, is a contributing or complicating aspect of most of the diverse human rheumatic disease syndromes which have been identified to date. The characteristics of the CIA model in rats which have been discussed in this article, i.e., genetically controlled variations in incidence, severity, rate of progression and expression of clinical disease, are also characteristic of the human rheumatic disease patient population. Likewise, the probable contribution of multiple genes to these syndromes is recognized. Continued investigation of the CIA model can be expected to yield important information that can be used to better understand its human counterparts.

Abstract
We examined the HLA-DR characteristics of a population of 30 healthy collagen responders. Each had previously exhibited a localized hypersensitivity response to an intradermal challenge with a bovine collagen implant. A one-tailed binomial test revealed a significant increase in the alloantigen DR2 (p less than 0.007) and an increase in DR4 which bordered on significance (p less than 0.06). These data are consistent with murine studies that demonstrate that the immune response to bovine collagen is under H-2 linked genetic control. Furthermore, the increased frequencies of DR2 and DR4 in these collagen responders were attributable to a statistically significant disruption in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in favor of the heterozygote DR2/DR4 (p less than 0.0001). This finding supports a model in which at least two interacting HLA-linked alleles may influence the immune response to bovine collagen.

Abstract
Although oral administration of protein antigens may lead to specific immunologic unresponsiveness, this method of immunoregulation has not been applied to models of autoimmune disease. Type II collagen-induced arthritis is an animal model of polyarthritis induced in susceptible mice and rats by immunization with type II collagen, a major component of cartilage. Intragastric administration of soluble type II collagen, prior to immunization with type II collagen in adjuvant, suppresses the incidence of collagen-induced arthritis. Administration of denatured type II collagen has no observable effect on the incidence or severity of the disease. The overall magnitude of the antibody response is not significantly reduced in collagen-fed mice as compared to controls. While the isotype distribution of the anti-collagen antibodies is similar in the two groups, there is a tendency toward reduced IgG2 responses in the collagen-fed mice.

Abstract
Recent data suggest that genes involved in the control of (1) immune responses of humans to HBsAg and (2) the susceptibility to the development of chronic hepatitis B are linked to the major HLA histocompatibility complex. Studies on the genetic regulation of anti-HBs responses and on the possible abrogation of nonresponsiveness to HBsAg in humans are difficult. In an attempt to develop a relevant animal model system, the anti-HBs response of inbred and congenic strains of mice was investigated. A great variation in anti-HBs responses among individual mice belonging to the same strains was observed. Nevertheless, it was possible to rank the inbred mouse strains studied according to their decreasing anti-HBs responses as follows: BALB/c[d] congruent to SWR/J[q] greater than C57BL/6J[b] congruent to DBA/2J[a] greater than AKR/J[k] greater than A/J[a] greater than CBA/CaJ[k] greater than SJL/J[s]. (Letters in brackets indicate H-2 haplotype). Only a small proportion of SJL mice had an anti-HBs response. Therefore, this strain may serve as a model for human nonresponders. Studies with the congenic strains B10.D2[d] and B10.S[s] indicated that genes conferring responsiveness to HBsAg are linked to the H-2 histocompatibility complex. However, genes not linked to H-2 also probably play a role in regulating anti-Hbs responses.

Abstract
Several Ia-positive BALB/c B cell tumor lines were screened for their ability to present alloantigen and protein antigens to alloreactive and antigen-reactive T cells. Of six Ia-positive tumor lines studied, three were found to be effective as antigen presenting cells (APC). Indeed, on a per cell basis, one of the stimulatory lines, A20.3, was substantially more effective than whole spleen cells. The other three lines, although Ia-positive, were nonstimulatory. A20.3 was chosen for further study. This tumor appeared to behave like the conventional APC because (a) the tumor cells presented alloantigen, (b) they presented protein antigen in an MHC-restricted fashion to both primed donor T cells and to long-term continuous T cell lines, (c) alloantigen presentation was blocked by the inclusion of an anti-Ia antibody in the culture system, and (d) A20.3 cells could be effectively pulsed with antigen, although the continuous presence of antigen in the culture system resulted in a superior response. The addition of an exogenous source of interleukin 1 proved necessary to obtain an alloreactive but not an antigen-specific T cell response, although its inclusion did enhance the magnitude of antigen-stimulated proliferation. These tumor cells should prove useful in studying the biochemical events that occur during antigen processing and the requirements for T cell triggering by processed antigen in association with Ia molecules.

Abstract
The immune response to connective tissue components of basement membrane (type IV collagen and laminin) and to interstitial collagen (type I) has been examined in human and murine systems. We also examined the role that immunologic sensitization to autologous connective tissue components might play in inducing an inflammatory response resulting in pathologic sequelae. Mice receiving a single subcutaneous injection of 5 micrograms type IV or type I murine collagens, or murine laminin in complete Freund's adjuvant mount a delayed-type hypersensitivity response characterized by a mononuclear cell infiltrate when challenged in the footpad with the sensitizing antigen. Cell-mediated immunity to these connective tissue antigens can be transferred to normal syngeneic mice with sensitized T-lymphocytes. In addition, repeated immunizations with these homologous connective tissue components elicit antibody responses in mice. Our data demonstrate the immunogenic nature of types IV and I collagen, and of laminin in a syngeneic murine model. We have demonstrated autoantibodies to the basement membrane and interstitial collagens in the sera of patients with scleroderma (systemic sclerosis); ELISA ratios correlate directly with the extent of pulmonary fibrosis in these patients. Anti-type IV collagen autoantibodies were found to be primarily IgM and anti-type I collagen antibodies, primarily IgG. An antibody response to autologous connective tissue antigens could lead to complement activation, immune complex formation, and deposition of the complexes along vascular endothelium with recruitment of blood monocytes in situ, mirroring the early scleroderma lesion (perivascular mononuclear cell filtrates). In vitro we examined the role of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in the activation of fibroblasts. Adherent human blood monocytes release mediators which stimulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition. A model is presented for the induction of immunity to autologous connective tissue components, leading to mononuclear cell inflammation, fibroblast activation and fibrosis. Selective immunity to basement membrane collagens may influence the clinical expression of diffuse connective tissue syndromes such as scleroderma (systemic sclerosis).

Abstract
The segregation of genes controlling ECIA susceptibility and the level of immune response to native calf type II collagen were determined in the F2 progeny of matings between WF (RT1u/u; ECIA-susceptible; high responders) and LEW.B3 (RT1n/n; ECIA-resistant; low to intermediate responders). RT1n/n F2 progeny showed resistance to ECIA, low skin test reactivity to type II collagen and intermediate levels of IgG anti-collagen antibodies (-log2 of 6.2 +/- 2.6; mean +/- SD, n = 10). RT1u/u and RT1u/n F2 progeny were susceptible to ECIA and were high responders to type II collagen by skin testing and IgG antibody titres (-log2 of 12.1 +/- 1.3, mean +/- SD, n = 26). Although all rats that developed arthritis were also high responders to type II collagen one group of immature F2 progeny, RT1u/u and RT1u/n, showed high anti-collagen immune responses in the absence of detectable arthritis. The data indicate that genes linked to RT1.A control susceptibility to ECIA and at least part of the immune response to native calf type II collagen in WF and LEW.B3 rats.

Abstract
A model of arthritis was established by the injection of type II collagen into mice. Only mice bearing the H-2q haplotype were susceptible to the disease. Susceptibility was further mapped by the use of recombinant strains on the Iq locus. Type II collagen arthritis was observed in the (resistant X susceptible) F1 cross. Mice strains were designated high, intermediate, or low responders with respect to the anti-type II antibody levels measured by radioimmunoassay. Arthritis-susceptible strains were all classified as high antibody responders. The clinical and histological appearance of type II collagen arthritis in the mouse indicates that it may be a good animal model for the investigation of various immunogenetic traits in rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
The genetic influences on the specific IgG antibody response to helical antigenic determinants of native soluble type III and V (AB2) human collagen have been studied in mice. H-2-linked Ir genes have been detected for each of these collagens, as have background effects. The alleles controlling high antibody responses can be distinguished from those previously described for bovine collagen type I and type I propeptide. Apparent two-gene complementation in the response to type V (AB2) may indicate that this antigen will be a useful probe in further studies of the complex nature of antigen presentation for T cell recognition. The present studies may facilitate the production of specific, high-affinity monoclonal antibodies for the human collagens which, in turn, will facilitate the study of connective tissue biology and pathology.

Abstract
The antibody response in mice to type I calf skin collagen is quantitatively determined by genes with map to the I region of the H-2 histocompatibility complex. The use of H-2 recombinant B10 congenic strains of mice reveals that a gene in the IA subregion and a gene to the right of the IA subregion affect responsiveness. To examine complementation patterns in the antibody response to collagen, five B10 congenic strains, each bearing an independent H-2 haplotype, were intercrossed to obtain nine hybrid strains heterozygous at the H-2 locus. In five combinations heterozygous progeny produced significantly greater antibody responses than those observed for the homozygous parental strains. Two low responder haplotypes, H-2k and H-2d, were shown to be qualitatively different. Mice of these haplotypes show a different dose--response pattern and a different phenotypic pattern of inheritance with respect to the high responder H-2b haplotype. Complementation effects found in F1 hybrid mice derived from H-2 recombinant parental strains indicate that high responsiveness, controlled by an IA6 subregion gene, can be influenced by an interaction between an IAk subregion gene and an ICd subregion gene on different chromosomes. These data are consistent with the possibility that there exist two or more I region genes that have distinct functions and can interact to affect the levels of immune responsiveness.

Abstract
The immune responses of all inbred strains of mice specific to the synthetic terpolymer poly(LGlu60LAla30LTyr10), referred to as GAT10, are characterized by the presence of anti-GAT antibodies which share a common (CGAT) idiotype. In this report, we describe the ability of the synthetic polymers, LGlu33LAla33LTyr33, LGlu51-LAla34LTyr15 and poly-L(Tyr, Glu)-DLAla--LLys [(T,G)-A--L] to induce antibodies with CGAT idiotypic specificities. All of these polymers contain "GT"-related determinants. Following immunization with these polymers, antisera from responder mice bind the corresponding 125I-labeled antigen and 125I-labeled poly(LGlu50LTyr50) or GAT10. These antisera shared the CGAT idiotype which is associated with the antibody fraction with binding specificity for GAT10. Collectively, the present results indicate that GT-related determinants are required for the induction of the CGAT idiotype. Moreover, since the immune responses to these synthetic polymers are under distinct H-2-linked immune response (Ir) gene control, a mouse strain can be nonresponder to one polymer and responder to another; in this case, only the latter polymer induces CGAT idiotype. Thus, although the immune responses of inbred strains of mice to different polymers are under distinct Ir gene control, the antibody responses can be idiotypically related.

Abstract
We have recently described a new animal model of arthritis induced by intradermal injection of a distinct type of collagen found in cartilage (type II collagen). Since immunologic sensitivity to collagen could play a role in the pathogenesis of this type II collagen-induced arthritis in rats, the ability of purified types of native collagens to induce cellular and humoral responses was quantified by antigeninduced tritiated thymidine incorporation into lymphocytes by collagen and passive hemagglutination, respectively. Rats injected intradermally with native heterologous or homologous type II collagens in adjuvant developed type-specific cellular as well as humoral reactivity. Types I and III collagens were less immunogenic than was type II. The latter collagen induced brisk cellular and humoral responses that were equivalent whether complete Freund's adjuvant or incomplete Freund's adjuvant were employed. Both responses could be induced by native type II collagens modified by limited pepsin digestion, indicating that they are not attributable to determinants in the telopeptide regions of the molecule. Thus, these studies demonstrate the unique immunogenic as well as arthritogenic properties of the type II collagen molecule and indicate that both result from a helical conformation of its structurally distinct alpha-chains. Further, they suggest that type II collagen may, by humoral or cellular mechanisms, provoke or perpetuate inflammation in other arthritic diseases.
