a

The titer is expressed as the reciprocal of the highest serum dilution that gave 50% inhibition of reverse transcriptase production by 10 50% tissue culture infectious doses of FIV-M2 mixed with the corresponding dilution of a pool of 10 normal cat sera and calculated by the Reed and Müench method (28). The experiment was repeated twice, with comparable results. 

b

These cats were infected with plasma from FIV-M2-infected cats; sera were obtained 1 year later. 

c

ND, not done.
