The present invention provides a model animal with favorite onset of rheumatoid arthritis wherein the severity of arthritis reaches the maximum level and its onset ratio is a hundred percent, and a screening method of a remedy for rheumatoid arthritis by using the model animal. A mouse whose function of immunoglobulin Fc.gamma. receptor IIB gene is deficient on its chromosome and a wild-type collagen-induced arthritis-susceptible DBA/1J mouse are backcrossed six times or more, and a model mouse with favorite onset of rheumatoid arthritis is constructed. This model mouse with favorite onset of rheumatoid arthritis is immunized with bovine joint-origin type II collagen to develop collagen-induced arthritis.
