Abstract

The effect of the immunostimulant C. parvum on the establishment and course of mycoplasma arthritis of mice was investigated. Male Swiss albino mice were injected intra-venously with M. arthritidis culture and intraperitoneally with C. parvum. It was shown that mice immunostimulated with C. parvum were significantly protected against the establishment of arthritis if the mycoplasma was given 9 days after the immunostimulant. However, when the arthritis was established C. parvum had no effect on the course of the arthritis. A close association between mycoplasma arthritidis and synovial cells in proposed as a possible explanation of this observation.
