Previous studies have shown that LEW/N rats are susceptible to and F344/N rats are resistant to the chronic polyarthritis induced by cell walls of group A Streptococcus pyogenes (I ,2). Study of the chronic arthritis which follows the injection of group A S pyogenes cell walls has suggested that the
Endothelial cells play a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory arthritis in humans such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as well as experimental animal models such as streptococcal cell wall (SCW) arthritis in Lewis (LEW/N) rats. This review summarizes data in support of this con
