Methods Mol Biol. 2012:851:249-60. doi: 10.1007/978-1-61779-561-9_19.

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the usage of this rheumatoid arthritis model to investigate pain-like behavior in mice, including the assessment of clinical changes and the time-dependent changes in nociceptive behavior during disease progresses.
