Objective. Joint inflammation in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is sometimes associated with an autoimmune response to type II collagen (CII), a cartilage-specific protein. To test the hypothesis that down-regulation of autoimmunity to CII can be accomplished in JRA by oral administration of CI
## Abstract ## Objective Previous studies have shown that an analog peptide of the immunodominant T cell determinant of type II collagen (CII), i.e., CII^256β276^(N^263^, D^266^), was able to suppress the immune response to CII and the development of arthritis in DR1βtransgenic mice. The present s
