Abstract
Statistical support was obtained for an association between recent vaccination of cats and the presence of elevated background (i.e., anti-cell culture) reactivity in certain of their sera, as detected with a kinetics-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for coronavirus antibodies, implicating routine vaccination as a potential cause of false-positive antibody test results.
