IL1B and arthritic joint disease: We assessed the impact of two distinct approaches for tryptase inhibition on several inflammatory parameters associated to methylated bovine serum albumin/interleukin-1β (mBSA/IL-1β)-induced arthritis: the lentivirus-mediated heterologous expression of hSPAG11B/C gene product within the adult mouse knee joint, as well as the mouse intra-articular treatment with the synthetic tryptase inhibitor APC366 [23].
