Rheumatoid-like lesions developed in 9 of 25 (36%) Old English rabbits drinking cow's milk for 12 weeks. The incidence of lesions in male and female animals was similar. The majority of rabbits drinking cow's milk developed increased numbers of nucleated cells and raised percentages of T lymphocytes in their synovial fluids, compared to control rabbits. The cell counts and T cell percentages correlated with the severity of the histological lesions. No evidence of glomerulonephritis was observed in any of the experimental animals.
25只饮用牛奶12周的英国老兔中有9只（36%）出现了类风湿样病变。雄性和雌性动物的病变发生率相似。与对照兔相比，大多数饮用牛奶的兔子关节滑液中有核细胞数量增加，T淋巴细胞百分比升高。细胞计数和T细胞百分比与组织学病变的严重程度相关。在任何实验动物中均未观察到肾小球肾炎的迹象。
