Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) structural proteins were identified using sera obtained from experimentally inoculated cats. Proteins analysed by both radioimmunoprecipitation and Western blotting were specific for FIV infection and failed to cross-react with either antisera to feline leukaemia virus of feline syncytium-forming virus. Western blot analysis of purified virus revealed immunoreactive proteins with apparent Mr of 65K, 50K, 40K, 32K, 24K, 15K and 10K. The major core structural proteins of the virus were isolated by reverse phase HPLC and the aminoterminal sequences of p10 and p24 were determined. Monoclonal antibodies specific for p24 suggested the presence of a precursor protein that could be detected in 35[S]methionine/cysteine-labelled, virus-infected cell extracts. This putative precursor protein possessed an apparent Mr of 50K (Pr50gag). Further analysis revealed the presence of two additional proteins of 130K and 40K. Experiments utilizing tunicamycin, endoglycosidase H and glycopeptidase F revealed that p130 and p40 exhibited properties characteristic of glycoproteins. Our studies also indicated that FIV is immunologically related to other lentiviruses.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
