Collagen-induced arthritis

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is a condition induced in mice (or rats) to study rheumatoid arthritis.[1]

CIA is induced in mice by injecting them with an emulsion of complete Freund's adjuvant and type II collagen.[2]

In rats, only one injection is needed, but mice are normally injected twice.[3]
