Animal models of human autoimmune disease suggest that it should be possible to reinduce self-tolerance in these conditions by the use of T-cell directed therapies, in particular with anti-CD4 monoclonal antibodies (CD4-mAb). Many studies have shown that CD4-mAb can prevent and in a treatment setting suppress activity of these disease models, including collagen-induced arthritis.
