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

## Abstract Sixteen inbred rat strains were examined for susceptibility and resistance to group A streptococcal cell wallโinduced polyarthritis. The findings indicated that 2 or more genetic loci, as well as sexโrelated factors, played a major role in determining susceptibility to arthritis in this
## Abstract ## Objective The enhanced expression of experimental arthritis in the absence of interferonโฮณ (IFNฮณ) suggests that IFNฮณ suppresses arthritis. Interleukinโ17 (ILโ17) is a pivotal T cell cytokine in arthritis, and in vitro studies have indicated that IFNฮณ suppresses ILโ17 production. We
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
