Capillary diameter, venular red blood cell velocity and wall shear rates in synovial tissue following CFA or CFA/collagen II exposure
| CFA | CFA/collagen II | |||||
| FVB | DBA | TCR | FVB | DBA | TCR | |
| Capillary diameter (μm) | 4.3 ± 0.1 | 4.5 ± 0.2 | 4.4 ± 0.1 | 4.5 ± 0.1 | 4.7 ± 0.1 | 4.6 ± 0.1 |
| VRBC (μm/s) | 840 ± 143 | 1085 ± 350 | 1760 ± 412 | 620 ± 278 | 835 ± 251 | 487 ± 122* |
| Wall shear rate (s-1) | 0.20 ± 0.03 | 0.21 ± 0.05 | 0.40 ± 0.09 | 0.12 ± 0.03 | 0.18 ± 0.05 | 0.10 ± 0.02 |
Values are expressed as means ± standard error. *P < 0.05 versus corresponding complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) treated control animals. TCR, T-cell receptor; VRBC, venular red blood cell velocity.
