Endogenous RD-114 Virus of Cats: Absence of Antibodies to RD-114 Envelope Antigens in Cats Naturally Exposed to Feline Leukemia Virus

M P Mandel 1, J R Stephenson 2, W D Hardy Jr 3, M Essex 1
PMCID: PMC414294  PMID: 222681

Abstract

Healthy cats, including those exposed to feline leukemia virus in leukemia cluster households, lack evidence of humoral immunity to virion surface antigens of the endogenous RD-114 virus.
