Abstract
Animal models are available for the study of several different aspects of spondyloarthritis. The models include naturally occurring spontaneous disorders in primates and rodents, spontaneous disorders in transgenic or gene-deleted rodents and induced disorders in rodents. Areas of investigation to which these models contribute include the role HLA-B27, processes of spinal and peripheral joint inflammation and calcification, immune responses to candidate antigens and the role of TNF.Entities:
