1. Estudo da ocorrência da doença renal crônica em gatos naturalmente infectados pelo vírus da imunodeficiência felina / Occurrence of chronic kidney disease in cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus
Cats naturally infected with the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) develop a syndrome that share common characteristics with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. For this reason, felines are considered a promising model for the study of HIV infection. HIV associated nephropathy is a common and concerning complication in human beings, resulting

2. Frequência de leucemia e imunodeficiência viral felina em uma população hospitalar
Retroviruses make up a family of RNA virus that includes many agents of veterinary importance. The transcriptase reverse enzyme allows viral RNA to serve as template for production of a double-stranted DNA provirus. This provirus is then inserted in to the host?s genome. Two feline retroviruses have been identified that may cause immunodeficiency syndrome ?

3. Reação em Cadeia de Polimerase (PCR) para detecção dos genes gag e pol do Vírus da Imunodeficiência Felina (FIV) / Reaction in Chain of Polymerase (PCR) for detention of the genes gag and pol of the Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline (FIV)
O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal padronizar a técnica de reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR) para detecção do genoma proviral do vírus da imunodeficiência felina (FIV), um retrovirus associado com a síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida (AIDS) dos felinos. Avaliamos amostras de sangue de 97 felinos domésticos provenientes da cidade

4. Feline immunodeficiency virus, a model for reverse transcriptase-targeted chemotherapy for acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), formerly called feline T-lymphotropic lentivirus, causes an immune deficiency in cats that is very similar to the acquired immune deficiency syndrome in humans (N. C. Pedersen, E. M. Ho, M. L. Brown, and J. K. Yamamoto, Science 235:790-793, 1987). We have examined the reverse transcriptase of this virus to determine wheth

5. Induction of accelerated feline immunodeficiency virus disease by acute-phase virus passage.
Development of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in cats as a small animal model for lentiviral immunodeficiency disease has been hampered by the prolonged and variable disease course following experimental infection. To address this issue, we generated high-titer, unselected FIV stocks by pooling plasma from cats acutely infected with a subgroup

6. Proviral burden and infection kinetics of feline immunodeficiency virus in lymphocyte subsets of blood and lymph node.
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is similar to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 virologically and induces a clinical syndrome in cats comparable to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 syndrome in humans. To determine the lymphoid target cells of FIV, populations of CD4+ lymphocytes, CD8+ lymphocytes, and CD21+ lymphocytes (B cells) were enriched to mor

7. Humoral immune response of asymptomatic cats naturally infected with feline leukemia virus.
The humoral immune response of cats that were naturally infected with the feline leukemia virus (FeLV) was examined after antigenic stimulation with the synthetic antigen poly(L-Tyr, L-Glu)-poly(DL-Ala)-poly(L-Lys). The primary humoral antibody response in FeLV-infected cats was both delayed and greatly reduced, compared with that seen in uninfected control

8. Longitudinal assessment of feline immunodeficiency virus kinetics in plasma by use of a quantitative competitive reverse transcriptase PCR.
Cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) develop a disease syndrome similar to that caused by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in humans. HIV-1 replication has been shown to correlate with the disease stage and progression. To assess replication kinetics and disease progression in early FIV infection, we developed a quantit

9. Sleep patterns are disturbed in cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related sleep disturbances have been reported early in AIDS. Likewise, the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a natural lentivirus pathogen of cats, produces a similar immunodeficiency syndrome with neurological sequelae. To identify the neurophysiological substrate of FIV infection in brain, pathogen-free cats were infec

10. Characterization of a Highly Pathogenic Molecular Clone of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Clade C
We have derived and characterized a highly pathogenic molecular isolate of feline immunodeficiency virus subtype C (FIV-C) CABCpady00C. Clone FIV-C36 was obtained by lambda cloning from cats that developed severe immunodeficiency disease when infected with CABCpady00C (Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada). Clone FIV-C36 Env is 96% identical to the noninfect

11. Alpha interferon (2b) in combination with zidovudine for the treatment of presymptomatic feline leukemia virus-induced immunodeficiency syndrome.
The therapeutic efficacies of human recombinant alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), IFN-alpha plus zidovudine (AZT), and AZT alone were evaluated in presymptomatic cats with established feline leukemia virus (FeLV)-acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (FAIDS) infection and high levels of persistent antigenemia. Subcutaneous injection of 1.6 x 10(6) U of human recomb

12. Strong sequence conservation among horizontally transmissible, minimally pathogenic feline leukemia viruses.
We report the first complete nucleotide sequence (8,440 base pairs) of a biologically active feline leukemia virus (FeLV), designated FeLV-61E (or F6A), and the molecular cloning, biological activity, and env-long terminal repeat (LTR) sequence of another FeLV isolate, FeLV-3281 (or F3A). F6A corresponds to the non-disease-specific common-form component of t
