Feline immunodeficiency virus subunit vaccines that induce virus neutralising antibodies but no protection against challenge infection.
Three experimental vaccines against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), all based on viral antigens presented via immune stimulating complexes (iscoms), were tested for their capacity to induce protection in cats from FIV infection. The respective vaccines consisted of FIV propagated in Crandell feline kidney (CrFK) cells (FIV-iscoms); FIV-iscoms spiked with recombinant vaccinia virus expresse...
متن کاملEnhancement of feline immunodeficiency virus infection after immunization with envelope glycoprotein subunit vaccines.
Cats were immunized three times with different recombinant feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) candidate vaccines. Recombinant vaccinia virus (rVV)-expressed envelope glycoprotein with (vGR657) or without (vGR657 x 15) the cleavage site and an FIV envelope bacterial fusion protein (beta-Galactosidase-Env) were incorporated into immune-stimulating complexes or adjuvanted with Quil A. Although al...
متن کاملPassive antibody protection of cats against feline immunodeficiency virus infection.
All six cats passively immunized with sera from either feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-vaccinated cats or cats infected with FIV (Petaluma strain) were protected from homologous FIV infection at a challenge dose that infected all six control cats. Passive immunization with sera from cats vaccinated with uninfected allogeneic T cells used to grow the vaccine virus did not protect either of t...
متن کاملHematologic manifestations of feline immunodeficiency virus infection.
Studies were done on 53 cats with community-acquired infection with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) to determine if hematologic abnormalities were comparable with those observed in patients seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Nine cats were asymptomatic, 24 had clinical symptoms equivalent to AIDS-related complex (ARC), and 20 had AIDS-like disease. Hematologic abno...
متن کاملFeline leukemia virus and feline immunodeficiency virus.
Ophthalmic manifestations of FeLV or FIV infection can occur in all ocular tissues and may be manifestations of direct viral effects or secondary to viral-related malignant transformation. Additionally, the manifestations of common feline ophthalmic pathogens may be more severe and poorly responsive to therapy because of the immunosuppressive effects of FeLV or FIV infection. Prompt diagnosis o...
