Hind paws were taken for histology. Bone erosions were scored in a blinded manner on a scale of 0 to 4 as described in Materials and methods. A significant reduction in bone erosions was observed in the animals treated with 2.5 μg and 1.25 μg IFN-β per injection/mouse in comparison with controls (= 0.02); results are means ± . Immunohistochemical analysis of the number of cells positive for RANKL (receptor activator of NF-κB ligand) and c-Fos after 7 days of IFN-β treatment in CIA mice. Sections were scored on a 4-point scale. RANKL staining; a decrease of RANKL-positive cells was observed in the group of animals treated with 2.5 μg IFN-β, although not statistically significant (= 0.07). c-Fos staining; the number of c-Fos-positive cells was significantly reduced in the mice treated with daily 2.5 μg per injection IFN-β (= 0.04). *Statistically significant difference. , standard error of the mean. histologic;analysis;bone;erosions;mice;collageninduced;arthritis;treatment;ifn;Molecular Biology 2011-12-31
