Cellular localisation of the proteins of region 3 of feline enteric coronavirus [PDF]
Feline enteric coronaviruses have three open reading frames (ORFs) in region 3 (3a, 3b, and 3c). All three ORFs were expressed with C-terminal eGFP and 3xFLAG tags in different cell lines and their localisation was determined. ORF 3a is predicted to contain DNA-binding and transcription activator domains, and it is localised in the nucleus and in the ...

A colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip based on mAbs anti-N protein to detect feline coronavirus [PDF]
Feline coronavirus (FCoV) includes Feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) and feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). FECV primarily affects the gastrointestinal system of cats, causing mild and self-limiting gastrointestinal symptoms.

Role of sialic acids in feline enteric coronavirus infections
To initiate infections, many coronaviruses use sialic acids, either as receptor determinants or as attachment factors helping the virus find its receptor underneath the heavily glycosylated mucus layer. In the present study, the role of sialic acids in serotype I feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) infections was studied in feline intestinal epithelial ...

The growth of feline enteric coronavirus strain 79-1683 in whole feline embryo cells was inhibited by the presence of 1 microgram/ml of actinomycin D in the culture fluid. No virus-specific mRNAs could be detected in such cultures and yields of infectious virus were depressed by > 99%.

Plaque Assay, Polypeptide Composition and Immunochemistry of Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus and Feline Enteric Coronavirus Isolates [PDF]
The coronaviral nature of feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV) has been well documented by morphological, physicochemical and antigenic studies1–10. However, biochemical and detailed immunochemical analyses of FIPV and FECV have been difficult due to the inability to prepare sufficient quantities of viral ...

The ORF1ab of Feline Coronavirus Plays a Critical Role in Regulating the Innate Immune Response [PDF]
Feline coronaviruses (FCoVs) are divided into two groups: feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). FIPV is responsible for the severe disease known as feline infectious peritonitis, while FECV typically causes ...

Abstract Feline coronavirus is classified into two coronaviruses: feline enteric coronavirus (FECoV) and feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus (FIPV), which cause mild diarrhea and deadly peritonitis in cats, respectively. Since FIPV arises by mutation(s) in FECoV, a survey of FECoV infection in cats is needed to provide fundamental ...

Successful in vitro propagation of feline coronavirus from clinically diagnosed feline infectious peritonitis cases using Vero cells: A potential model for future research. [PDF]
Abstract Background Feline coronavirus (FCoV) causes inapparent to progressive fatal feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) in domestic and wild cats, which affects multiple‐organ systems. Methods We investigated three clinically sick cats using different laboratory and molecular tests to diagnose and confirm FCoV and propagate the virus in Vero cell ...
