Diagnosing feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in FIV-vaccinated and FIV-unvaccinated cats using saliva

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2016
We recently showed that two immunochromatography point-of-care FIV antibody test kits (Witness FeLV/FIV and Anigen Rapid FIV/FeLV) were able to correctly assign FIV infection status, irrespective of FIV vaccination history, using whole blood as the diagnostic specimen.

Simple in vitro methods for titrating Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and FIV neutralizing antibodies

Journal of Virological Methods, 1992
The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) readily produced syncytia in Crandell feline kidney (CrFK) cells adapted to a medium containing 0.5% fetal calf serum, a variety of growth factors and other supplements. This finding has been exploited to develop simple and sensitive virus titration and neutralization assays.

Determining the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) status of FIV-vaccinated cats using point-of-care antibody kits

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2015
This study challenges the commonly held view that the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection status of FIV-vaccinated cats cannot be determined using point-of-care antibody test kits due to indistinguishable antibody production in FIV-vaccinated ...

Neurotoxicity of FIV and FIV envelope protein in feline cortical cultures

Brain Research, 1999
The neurotoxic effects of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and FIV envelope proteins were measured in primary cultures of feline cortical neurons. Envelope protein from the FIV-PPR strain promoted neuronal swelling and death, whereas envelope protein from the FIV-34TF10 isolate produced intermediate or negligible toxicity. No effect was observed

FIV and neuroAIDS

Journal of Neurovirology, 2002
The feline immunodeeciency virus (FIV) is a lentivirus related to the human immunodeeciency virus (HIV-1). Although clearly evolutionary divergent at the genetic level, similarities between HIV and FIV are present at structural, molecular, and biochemical levels of the virus.

What is FIV and what does it mean for FIV positive patients?

The Veterinary Nurse, 2013
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes immunodeficiency in cats. A good time to consider testing cats for FIV would be after they have been bitten in a fight however the test needs to be done 2 months or longer after the fight otherwise the results may be inaccurate due to the cat's immune system not generating enough antibodies to be fully ...

FeLV and FIV in a cat population

Veterinary Record, 2007
SIR, — For the past eight years the Strathbogie Veterinary Centre in Huntly has recorded the geographical location of the majority of cats that were found positive on the snap idexx test for feline leukaemia virus (felv) antigen or feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) antibody.

Efficacy of HIV-1 and FIV subunit vaccines against FIV (132.3)

The Journal of Immunology, 2009
Abstract Defining the minimum essential vaccine components required for protective immunity to HIV and FIV remains a major challenge. A recent study reported that recombinant HIV-1 capsid p24 vaccines conferred cross-protection against FIV in cats.
