Current status on treatment options for feline infectious peritonitis and SARS-CoV-2 positive cats
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a viral-induced, immune-mediated disease of cats caused by virulent biotypes of feline coronaviruses (FCoV), known as the feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV).

Agarose gel serum protein electrophoresis in cats with and without lymphoma and preliminary results of tandem mass fingerprinting analysis [PDF]
<b>Background</b>: Serum electrophoretic profiles in cats are poorly characterized with respect to the protein components of the globulin fractions, and interpretation of the electrophoretograms has routinely been done in ignorance of the ...

Clinicopathologic Features and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in 24 Cats With Histopathologically Confirmed Neurologic Feline Infectious Peritonitis [PDF]
Background: Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is the most common infectious central nervous system (CNS) disease in the cat and is invariably fatal. Improved means of antemortem diagnosis is required to facilitate clinical decision making.

Feline interleukin 1 production induced by feline infectious peritonitis virus.
Feline alveolar macrophages were inoculated with feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV). Cultured macrophages produced substantial amounts of interleukin 1 (IL-1) in the supernatants, as determined by C3H/HeJ mouse thymocyte proliferation assay. FIPV by itself did not affect this IL-1 assay system.

The Ultrastructure of Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus in Feline Embryonic Lung Cells
The ultrastructure of feline infectious peritonitis virus in cultured feline embryonic lung cells is reported. Feline embryonic lung cells were infected with feline infectious peritonitis virus and studied by transmission electron microscopy. The virus was not apparent in the cultured cells until 24 h after infection when it occurred in the endoplasmic

Application of versatile reverse genetics system for feline coronavirus
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a fatal disease caused by feline coronavirus (FCoV). Although multiple gene mutations in FCoV likely account for FIP pathogenesis, molecular studies for FCoV have been limited due to the lack of a suitable reverse ...

Potentiation of Platelet Responses In Vitro by Feline Infectious Peritonitis Virus [PDF]
The effect of feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) on platelet aggregation and14C-serotonin release induced by threshold levels of four agonists (adenosine diphosphate [ADP], collagen, arachidonic acid, and epinephrine) was examined in vitro in ten specific-pathogen-free cats.
