We have investigated the usage of T cell receptor (TcR) Vβ gene structures in DA rats undergoing homologous collagen‐induced arthritis induced by immunization with homologous collagen type II emulsified in Freund's incomplete adjuvant. TcR Vβ expression within freshly isolated inflamed synovial tissue (ST) and primary draining lymph nodes was analyzed in a semi‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. A highly restricted TcR Vβ gene expression was observed in ST samples 2 days after onset of clinical disease, with Vβ6, 8.2 and 8.5 comprising more than 60% of the total Vβ expression measured. The corresponding primary draining lymph nodes from the diseased animals showed some bias in Vβ expression at this time but not as remarkable as that found in ST. One week after onset of disease, consistent Vβ gene bias was much less evident in either site. These results indicate that T cells which infiltrate synovia early in disease are highly restricted with respect to Vβ expression.
