     The experiment was terminated 9 days after arthritis induction. a Number of osteoclasts (** p  = 0.009) in the distal femoral epiphysis per bone surface in control ( n  = 6) and CAIA ( n  = 5) mice, b frequency of preosteoclasts (% CD11b + F4/80 + MCSF-R + cells of CD11b + cells) in bone marrow from control ( n  = 11) and CAIA ( n  = 13) mice, c frequency of CD4 + T cells (of lymphocytes) ( p  = 0.227) in control ( n  = 15) and CAIA ( n  = 14) mice, and d frequency of IL-17 + cells (of lymphocytes) (* p  = 0.049) in control ( n  = 14) and CAIA ( n  = 14) mice, in draining lymph nodes.
