Neutralizing epitopes of feline calicivirus [PDF]

open access: possibleArchives of Virology, 1991
A new collection of eighteen neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (N-MoAbs), raised against feline calicivirus (FCV), was used to analyze neutralizing epitopes of the F4 strain of FCV, the prototype strain of FCV in Japan. By cross-neutralization tests with the 20 FCV strains including Japanese.

Sites of persistence of feline calicivirus

Research in Veterinary Science, 1989
Various tissues were collected from eight cats persistently infected with feline calicivirus (FCV) strain 255 to determine the sites of viral persistence. Tissues were tested by virus isolation and an immunohistochemical technique in which infected cells were detected in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using rabbit antiserum to FCV ...

Molecular Virology of Feline Calicivirus

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2008
Caliciviridae are small, nonenveloped, positive-stranded RNA viruses. Much of our understanding of the molecular biology of the caliciviruses has come from the study of the naturally occurring animal caliciviruses. In particular, many studies have focused on the molecular virology of feline calicivirus (FCV), which reflects its importance as a natural ...

The pathway of feline calicivirus entry

Virus Research, 1995
The requirement for a low pH-dependent step during feline calicivirus (FCV) entry into Crandell-Reese feline kidney cells was investigated. Chloroquine, a lysosomotropic agent that prevents acidification of intracellular vesicles, inhibited the production of infectious virus when present during adsorption and the initial stages of FCV replication, but ...

Feline calicivirus subunit vaccine - a prototype

Antiviral Research, 1985
A vaccine was prepared from a subunit component, antigenically similar to the whole feline calicivirus (FCV) particles. Despite the limited number of animals available for this study we were able to demonstrate that the vaccine protected cats when challenged with a virulent strain of the virus while the non-vaccinates kept as controls developed ...

The complete nucleotide sequence of a feline calicivirus

Virology, 1992
We have determined the complete sequence of a feline calicivirus. The virus genome is 7690 bases long and contains two large open reading frames. Proteins specified by these have similarity to those encoded in the corresponding regions of a candidate calicivirus rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus, but are distinctly different from those specified by ...

Update on feline calicivirus: new trends

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2003
In addition to being important upper respiratory tract pathogens of cats, FCVs are increasingly reported as a cause of a highly contagious febrile hemorrhagic syndrome. Strains causing this syndrome are genetically different from the vaccine strain and other nonhemorrhagic FCV isolates. They apparently differ from one outbreak to another.

Feline Chlamydia and Calicivirus Infections

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2000
Feline conjunctivitis is common and often presents a clinical challenge to the veterinarian. Chlamydia psittaci is an important pathogen and should always be considered when evaluating cats with conjunctivitis. FCV is an infrequent cause of conjunctivitis and only causes the disease in conjunction with other clinical signs of this infection, such as ...

The antigens of feline calicivirus particles

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Virologie, 1980
Abstract Two antigenic determinants were present on the surface of feline calicivirus particles, but only one of these was present on the non-infectious 15S-subunit component. This common determinant was responsible for the production of neutralizing antibodies found in their homologous immune sera.
