Cooperative role of tumour necrosis factor‐α, interleukin‐1β and neutrophils in a novel behavioural model that concomitantly demonstrates articular inflammation and hypernociception in mice

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Chronic joint inflammation and pain are the hallmarks of disease in patients with inflammatory arthritis, notably rheumatoid arthritis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relative contribution of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)‐α, interleukin (IL)‐1β and neutrophil influx for joint inflammation and nociception in a novel murine model of antigen‐induced arthritis (AIA).
