Animal models are available for the studyof several different aspects of spondyloarthritis. The models include naturally occurring spontaneous disorders in primates and rodents, spon taneous disorders in transgenic or gene-deleted rodents and induced disorders inrodents. Areas ofinvestigation to which these models contribute include the role HLA-B27,processes of spinal and peripheral joint inflammation and calcification, immune responsesto candidate antigens and the role of TNF. © 2009 Landes Bioscience and Springer Science-s-Business Media.
