Abstract
Six-month-old kittens that had been inoculated 6 days previously with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) were treated with either normal goat serum, goat antiserum to FeLV, or goat antiserum to the purified Friend leukemia virus (FLV) gp71. All of the kittens treated with normal goat serum became persistently viremic, whereas up to three-fourths of those treated with the antiviral antisera resisted persistent viremia. These results suggest that viral antigens, in particular, their interspecies determinants, can be used as targets for immunotherapeutic regimens for the prevention and control of diseases induced by oncornaviruses.
