Lewis rats experimentally infected with Yersinia enterocolitica O8 develop Yersinia-induced arthritis (YIA), which resembles very much reactive arthritis in humans. To investigate the involvement of serum complement in induction and maintenance of YIA, we decomplementated Yersinia-infected Lewis rats by treatment with cobra venom factor starting on day 7 after infection (prearthritic state). Reduction of serum complement activity in vivo by cobra venom factor treatment coincided with suppression of YIA clinically and histomorphologically.
实验感染小肠结肠炎耶尔森菌O8的刘易斯大鼠会患上耶尔森菌诱导的关节炎(YIA),这与人类的反应性关节炎非常相似。为了研究血清补体在YIA诱导和维持中的作用,我们在感染后第7天(关节炎前期)开始用眼镜蛇毒因子治疗,对感染耶尔森菌的刘易斯大鼠进行去补体处理。眼镜蛇毒因子处理导致体内血清补体活性降低,同时在临床和组织形态学上抑制了YIA。
