In vivo lymphocyte tropism of feline immunodeficiency virus

Abstract: Feline immunodeficiency virus (FlY) infection in the cat is similar to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection in causing a selective reduction in CD4+ cell numbers, leading to inversion of the CD4+/CD8+ ratio. To determine whether FIV, similar to human immunodeficiency virus type 1, has a tropism for CD4+ cells, we examined the in vitro and in vivo susceptibilities of feline lymphocyte subpopulations to FIV infection. Infection of interleukin-2-dependent CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocyte cultures with the NCSU1 i… Show more

“…CD134 -the primary receptor for FIV -is a T-cell activation marker and a co-stimulatory molecule and its expression is strictly confined to CD4 + T-cells [106]. With CD4 + T-cells constituting the major target for FIV early in infection [107,108], expansion of this subpopulation (through, e.g. vaccination) would provide the virus with an ideal opportunity for its replication [109].…”

“…This stage is also characterised by rapidly increasing viral loads, weight loss, lymphoadenopathy and neutropoenia. The initial burst of viraemia is associated with infection of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes [76,77] and a marked decline of CD4+ lymphocytes in circulation. At this stage virus is found throughout the lymphoid tissues, replicating in thymus, regional lymph nodes and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues [77,78].…”

“…Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a lentivirus of domestic cats found associated with an AIDS-like syndrome in infected animals. As with HIV in humans, the cat virus primarily infects T-cells of the CD4 lineage (Ackley et al, 1990;Novotney et al, 1990;Brown et al, 1991;Torten et al, 1991;Willett et al, 1991;Hoffmann-Fezer et al, 1992), but also infects CD8 T-cells, monocytes/macrophages, and a subset of IgG-bearing B cells in vivo (Brunner and Pedersen, 1989;Brown et al, 1991;English et al, 1993;Dean et al, 1996) and in vitro (Brunner and Pedersen, 1989). Additionally, certain FIVs will productively infect some continuous feline cell lines, such as Crandell feline kidney cells (CrFK) and a glial cell line derived from cat brain, G355-5 (Phillips et al, 1990;Waters et al, 1996).…”
