Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis
Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis (AIA) is an animal model for arthritis research that studies the progression and treatment of inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. It is induced by injection of an adjuvant into the animal, causing an inflammatory response in the joint that is similar to rheumatoid arthritis in humans. AIA can be used to study the effectiveness of anti-inflammatory drugs, the role of the immune system in inflammation, and the development of novel treatments. AIA has become an important tool in the understanding of the pathogenesis of arthritis and in the development of new treatments.
