Induction of immunity to feline caliciviral disease.

Description : Six specific-pathogen-free cats were exposed by aerosol to a feline calicivirus of low virulence (F-9 virus). Homotypic (anti-F-9) seroconversion occurred in all cats by postexposure day 14. The serum of one cat on postexposure day 14 and four of six cats on postexposure day 35 neutralized feline pi...

In vitro interaction of alveolar macrophages and pneumocytes with feline respiratory viruses.

Description : Feline alveolar macrophages and feline pneumocytes were inoculated in vitro with low multiplicities of either feline calicivirus or feline viral rhinotracheitis virus. Pneumocytes were permissive for both viruses. High titers were attained, and characteristic cytopathic effects developed. Alveolar m...

Passive immunity to feline leukemia: evaluation of immunity from dams naturally infected and experimentally vaccinated.

Description : Antibodies against feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (FOCMA) were transferred from pregnant cats to their suckling kittens. All of these kittens were protected against infection and oncogenesis by virulent FeLV when challenged at 2 weeks of age...

Feline leukemia virus subgroup C phenotype evolves through distinct alterations near the N terminus of the envelope surface glycoprotein.

Description : Feline leukemia viruses (FeLVs) belonging to the C subgroup induce aplastic anemia in domestic cats and have the ability, unique among FeLV strains, to proliferate in guinea pig fibroblasts in tissue culture. Previous studies have shown that the pathogenic and host range specificity of a prototype m...

Molecular analysis and pathogenesis of the feline aplastic anemia retrovirus, feline leukemia virus C-Sarma.

Description : We describe the molecular cloning of an anemogenic feline leukemia virus (FeLV), FeLV-C-Sarma, from the productively infected human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line RD(FeLV-C-S). Molecularly cloned FeLV-C-S proviral DNA yielded infectious virus (mcFeLV-C-S) after transfection of mammalian cells, and virus...

Longitudinal assessment of feline immunodeficiency virus kinetics in plasma by use of a quantitative competitive reverse transcriptase PCR.

Description : Cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) develop a disease syndrome similar to that caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in humans. HIV-1 replication has been shown to correlate with the disease stage and progression. To assess replication kinetics and diseas...

Diffuse alveolar damage in cats induced by nitrogen dioxide or feline calicivirus.

Description : The ultrastructural morphogenesis of pulmonary lesions was studied in cats exposed to either aerosols of feline calicivirus (FCV) or high concentrations of NO2. Both directly injured alveolar lining cells, particularly type I cells. Necrosis of pneumocytes attended by an acute exudative response in ...

Plasma viral RNA load predicts disease progression in accelerated feline immunodeficiency virus infection.

Description : Viral RNA load has been shown to indicate disease stage and predict the rapidity of disease progression in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals. We had previously demonstrated that feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) RNA levels in plasma correlate with disease stage in in...

Alpha interferon (2b) in combination with zidovudine for the treatment of presymptomatic feline leukemia virus-induced immunodeficiency syndrome.

Description : The therapeutic efficacies of human recombinant alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), IFN-alpha plus zidovudine (AZT), and AZT alone were evaluated in presymptomatic cats with established feline leukemia virus (FeLV)-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (FAIDS) infection and high levels of persistent antigene...
