Complement C3 deficiency has no effect on arthritis in K/BxN mice. The development of arthritis in K/BxN T-cell receptor transgenic mice with a targeted deletion of C3 (open circles, n = 7 mice) and C3-sufficient littermate controls (filled circles, n = 8) was assessed by arthritis score (a) and ankle thickening (b). Data are mean ± standard error of the mean. There are no statistically significant differences at any of the time points.
