Although both cellular and humoral immunity have been shown to play important roles in the development of collagen induced arthritis, their roles in the pathogenesis of bacterial cell wall induced arthritis remain unclear. Previous studies of humoral immunity in bacterial cell wall induced arthritis were carried out in outbred animals and measured the humoral response to only the eliciting bacteria. We compared the humoral immune responses of arthritis susceptible Lewis and arthritis resistant Fisher rats after the injection of arthritogenic group B Lactobacillus casei cell wall fragments. Both strains developed significant IgG and IgM responses to the Lactobacillus casei cell wall fragments. Neither strain developed a significant immune response to types I, II, IX or 1a2a3a collagens. These data suggest that humoral immune responses to the Lactobacillus casei cell wall fragments and types I, II, IX, or 1a2a3a collagens do not play a significant role in determining the differing arthritis susceptibilities of Lewis and Fisher rats.
