title: Early rheumatoid-like joint lesions in rabbits drinking cows' milk.
abstract: In a small experiment of 6 animals/group it was again shown that infiltrative synovial lesions could be induced in rabbits by the simple expedient of having the rabbits drink cows' milk over a 12-week period. Drinking 1/2-3/4 pint/day probably affords a small, but repeated, antigenic stimulation from intestinal absorption.
