Collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) is a simple mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis that can be used to address questions relating to the pathogenic mechanisms of the disease and serves as a platform for the evaluation of candidate therapeutic agents.

Biomedcode has standardized the model in

  1. C57BL/6 wild type mice,
  2. Mice humanized for hTNFR1
  3. Tg1278TNFKO human TNF transgenic mice
  4. Mice humanized for both TNF and TNFR1

and developed platforms to allow the evaluation of different arthritis therapeutics.
