There are no differences in the clinical course of arthritis between hTNFtg and c-fos–/–hTNFtg mice. Clinical course of arthritis indicated by (a) joint swelling and (b) grip strength was assessed in wild-type mice (filled triangles), c-fos–/– mice (open circles), hTNFtg mice (open diamonds), and c-fos–/–hTNFtg mice (filled squares). Asterisks indicate a significant (P < 0.01) increase in joint swelling and decrease in grip strength in hTNFtg and c-fos–/–hTNFtg mice compared with baseline and with wild-type and c-fos–/– mice.
