Early rheumatoid-like joint lesions in rabbits drinking cows' milk

Early rheumatoid-like joint lesions in rabbits drinking cows' milk

R R Coombs et al. Int Arch Allergy Appl Immunol. 1981.

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.
