The present study aimed to investigate whether the passive transfer of antibodies from Mhf-recovered to naïve recipient cats induced partial or complete protection against bacteremia and clinical disease following homologous challenge with Mhf. Different parameters addressing the humoral and cellular immune response were monitored in passively immunized and control cats. Our study demonstrated that the passive transfer of antibodies from Mhf-recovered to naïve SPF cats does not prevent infection, high bacterial loads and the development of clinical signs following homologous challenge with Mhf. The passively immunized and control cats showed no differences in the onset and extent of bacteremia and anemia during the course of Mhf infection. ./cache/cord-312695-1uw8xcxw.txt ./txt/cord-312695-1uw8xcxw.txt
