A solution of an apparently nonimmunogenic synthetic compound, N,N-dioctadecyl-N'',N''-bis(2-hydroxyethyl) propanediamine (CP-20961), suspended in mineral oil or olive oil (50 mg/ml), induced acute, chronic polyarthritis when single intradermal injections (0.2 ml) were made in the tail or hindpaw of Lewis rat. The polyarthritis was morphologically almost indistinguishable from classic adjuvant arthritis induced by Freund''s complete adjuvant (FCA), a disease generally thought to be the result of a delayed hypersensitivity reaction to a constituent(s) of the injected tubercle bacilli. The disease induced by CP-20961 and that induced by Freund''s complete adjuvant followed the same time course and almost identical pattern of development of clinical and histopathologic features. Like the classic adjuvant arthritis, CP-20961 induced arthritis is suppressed by an immunosuppressive agent (cyclophosphamide) or an antiinflammatory drug (phenylbutazone). The alkyldiamine (CP-20961) was potent adjuvant; a dispersion or solution of the compound in mineral oil administered i.p. enhanced the development of the cell-mediated and the humoral immune responses to [mouse leukemia] EL4 cells in the rat. The immunogen responsible for development of adjuvant arthritis is apparently endogenous, e.g., a constituent of host tissue, a viral protein or some complex of the 2.
