Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) vaccine efficacy and FIV neutralizing antibodies [PDF]

Vaccine, 2014
A HIV-1 tier system has been developed to categorize the various subtype viruses based on their sensitivity to vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies (NAbs): tier 1 with greatest sensitivity, tier 2 being moderately sensitive, and tier 3 being the least sensitive to NAbs (Mascola et al., J Virol 2005; 79:10103-7).
