Comparative efficacy of the Leucofeligen™ FeLV/RCP and Purevax™ RCP FeLV vaccines against infection with circulating feline Calicivirus
BACKGROUND Feline calicivirus (FCV) is a common virus, found worldwide, mainly responsible for chronic ulceroproliferative faucitis and periodontitis. This virus has a high mutation rate, leading to the presence of numerous FCV strains in the field. The objectives of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of two vaccines (Leucofeligen™ FeLV/RCP and Purevax™ RCP FeLV), which differ ...
متن کاملReply to "Immunosuppression in a Comparative Study of Feline Leukemia Virus Vaccines".
Our response to the comments on our recent publication in Clinical and Vaccine Immunology (1) is as follows. The authors state that the conclusions “are misleading and inconsistent with previous publications on the efficacy of canarypox-FeLV vaccine (2–5).” The first three references cited to support this claim did not use Purevax recombinant feline leukemia virus (FeLV) vaccine (which has a un...
متن کاملImmunosuppression in a Comparative Study of Feline Leukemia Virus Vaccines.
We read with interest the paper on the comparative efficacy of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) inactivated whole-virus vaccine and canarypox virus-vectored vaccine during virulent FeLV challenge and immunosuppression by Patel et al. (1). Although the title mentions that the challenge was conducted with immunosuppressed animals, immunosuppression and its impact on the results and conclusions of the...
متن کاملFeline leukemia virus DNA vaccine efficacy is enhanced by coadministration with interleukin-12 (IL-12) and IL-18 expression vectors.
The expectation that cell-mediated immunity is important in the control of feline leukemia virus (FeLV) infection led us to test a DNA vaccine administered alone or with cytokines that favored the development of a Th1 immune response. The vaccine consisted of two plasmids, one expressing the gag/pol genes and the other expressing the env gene of FeLV-A/Glasgow-1. The genetic adjuvants were plas...
متن کاملComparative Efficacy of Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) Inactivated Whole-Virus Vaccine and Canarypox Virus-Vectored Vaccine during Virulent FeLV Challenge and Immunosuppression
Four vaccines for feline leukemia virus (FeLV) are available in the United States. This study's purpose was to compare the efficacy of Nobivac feline 2-FeLV (an inactivated, adjuvanted whole-virus vaccine) and PureVax recombinant FeLV (a live, canarypox virus-vectored vaccine) following FeLV challenge. Cats were vaccinated at 9 and 12 weeks with Nobivac feline 2-FeLV (group A, n = 11) or PureVa...
