Effects of dietary nucleotides and cationic peptides on vaccination response in cats

Modulation of the immune system through nutrition is aim many studies. As induction a rapid onset immunity in cats often critical, objective this study was to evaluate effects orally administered dietary nucleotides and cationic peptides, on vaccination response cats. The were allocated two groups: Group A (n = 8) fed diet with peptides for ninety-two days, C without peptides. vaccinated against feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1), calicivirus (FCV) panleukopenia virus (FPV). proliferation activity lymphocytes antibody after evaluated using ELISA kits. Comparing groups, significant increase (P < 0.01) observed A, as well titres 0.05; P 0.001), 0.01; 0.001) 0.001). Protective levels antibodies reached significantly earlier than C. In conclusion, have positive effect lymphocyte production FHV-1, FCV FPV Therefore, we assume that they can be used suitable immunostimulatory substance practice.
