| feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen. ii. antibody titers in healthy cats from household and laboratory colony environments. | antibody titers to the feline oncornavirusassociated cell membrane antigen (focma) were determined for 447 healthy cats from laboratory colony and household environments. only 2.7 percent of 221 cats from colony environments were antibody positive as compared to 50.4 percent of 256 cats from household environments. incidence of focma antibody and geometric mean antibody titer for pet cats from new york city representing single cat apartment habitats were substantially lower than values for unscr ... | 1975 | 164562 |
| feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen. iv. antibody titers in cats with naturally occurring leukemia, lymphoma, and other diseases. | cats with naturally occurring leukemia and lymphoma had low or negative humoral antibody titers to the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen (focma). geographic differences were seen in the relative frequencies of various forms of lymphoproliferative neoplasms. lymphatic leukemia and thymic lymphoma were most common in boston, whereas alimentary lymphoma was most frequent in glasgow. no significant differences were found in geometric mean focma antibody titers for the various form ... | 1975 | 169377 |

| feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukemia virus infections and their relationships to lymphoid malignancies in cats: a retrospective study (1968-1988). | sera from 353 cats with naturally occurring feline leukemia virus (felv) infection were collected in boston, los angeles, new york city, and seattle between 1968 and 1988. these sera were retrospectively assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for antibodies to feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv). fifty-one (14.4%) of the felv-positive sera had antibodies to fiv, indicating dual oncovirus and lentivirus infections. fiv infections were confirmed by western blot analysis, antibodies against t ... | 1990 | 2159993 |
