Replication of feline coronaviruses in peripheral blood monocytes 2005-08-01 .txt text/plain 4704 247 53 Feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) (Coronaviridae) causes the most lethal viral infection in cats: FIP. In this study, infection kinetics (titres and antigen expression) of FIPV 79-1146, and FECV 79-1683, were determined in peripheral blood monocytes from 3 donor cats and compared to those in Crandell feline kidney (CrFK) cells. Two coronaviruses are described in cats: feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV) and feline enteric coronavirus (FECV). Within this population of 19 cats, the monocytes isolated from 9 cats showed a continuous increase in viral antigen positive cells during a 24 hour time span after inoculation with FIPV. Monocytes from 9 cats did not sustain both FIPV and FECV infection since the number of viral antigen positive cells dropped after 6 or 12 hpi (third pattern). In an infection kinetics study where another cell type, feline peritoneal macrophages, was used, different results in the antigen expression kinetics were obtained [29] . ./cache/cord-271831-vekok62k.txt ./txt/cord-271831-vekok62k.txt
