## Abstract ## Objective CC chemokines and their receptors play a fundamental role in trafficking and activation of leukocytes at sites of inflammation, contributing to joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis. Met‐RANTES, an amino‐terminal–modified methionylated form of RANTES (CCL5), antagonizes the

✦ Synopsis
Objective. To define the effects of incomplete Freund's adjuvant (LCFA) on subsequent arthritis induced by complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) and type I1 collagen (CII) in DA and Lewis rats.
Methods. ICFA was injected into DA and Lewis rats before CFA or CII injection.
Results. DA rats previously injected with ICFA had significantly less severe arthritis induced by CFA compared with those not receiving ICFA pretreatment (P < 0.01). ICFA had no significant impact on CFAinduced arthritis in Lewis rats or on CII-induced arthritis in DA rats.
Conclusion. The injection of ICFA alone specifically suppresses subsequent CFA-induced arthritis in DA rats, but not in Lewis rats.
DA rats injected with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (ICFA) alone develop a mild transient arthritis not seen in other rat strains (1). W e describe herein our From the Salt Lake City Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the Divisions of

## Abstract ## Objective We previously demonstrated that somatostatin (SOM) released from the activated peripheral terminals of capsaicin‐sensitive primary sensory neurons inhibits acute inflammation and nociception. This study was undertaken to examine this systemic “sensocrine” function of neuro
