Abstract
The diagnosis of vasculitis in rheumatoid arthritis (RV) is associated with considerable mortality; therefore, understanding the basic mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of vasculitis is very important. Animal models of vasculitis have contributed to elucidating such mechanisms. We here introduce a Candida albicans water-soluble glycoprotein (CAWS)-induced vasculitis model and the methodological approach to evaluate inflammatory vascular change.
