Mj. Hosie et al., PROTECTION AGAINST HOMOLOGOUS BUT NOT HETEROLOGOUS CHALLENGE INDUCED BY INACTIVATED FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS-VACCINES, Journal of virology, 69(2), 1995, pp. 1253-1255
Whale inactivated virus vaccines from the FL4 cell line protected agai
nst challenge with homologous feline immunodeficiency virus (Petaluma
strain) but not against a heterologous FIV isolate (GL-8) which is dis
tinct from the Petaluma strain in virus neutralization. Protection was
associated with a type-specific neutralizing antibody response and wa
s retained when the challenge virus was propagated in an unrelated cel
l line.
