Immunofluorescence of Feline Panleucopenia Virus in Cell Culture: Determination of Immunological Status of Felines by Serum Neutralization

摘要

Utilizing specific immunofluorescence as a viral indicator for a cell culture serum-neutralization system, the authors were able to demonstrate a relationship between specific antibody titer and susceptibility of felines to feline panleucopenia virus.This correlation was established by comparing prechallenge serum-neutralization titers to the clinical response of felines challenged with feline panleucopenia virus. The serological and clinical response of felines inoculated with commercial vaccines or related viruses was also studied.
