Adverse effects of feline IL-12 during DNA vaccination against feline infectious peritonitis virus.
Cell-mediated immunity is thought to play a decisive role in protecting cats against feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a progressive and lethal coronavirus disease. In view of the potential of DNA vaccines to induce cell-mediated responses, their efficacy to induce protective immunity in cats was evaluated. The membrane (M) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins were chosen as antigens, because antib...

متن کاملFeline infectious peritonitis.
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) frequently results in death in cats. It is caused by a mutated, highly contagious coronavirus, and it is more common in indoor cats in multicat households. A complex interaction between the coronavirus and the feline immune system causes disseminated vasculitis, which is the hallmark of FIP. New tests are being developed, but the antemortem diagnosis of FIP c...
متن کاملA synopsis of feline infectious peritonitis virus infection
This synopsis is taken from a much larger and more scientifically comprehensive review of FIP literature from the period 1963 through 2008. Although more technical than the Q&A format review also provided on the SOCKFIP website, it should prove helpful to those people with the desire to obtain more in depth knowledge of this disease. It is also hoped that the inclusion of references will demons...
