Recently, a newly discovered lentivirus--Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)--was identified as the cause of an AIDS-like syndrome in the cat. For the detection of FIV antigen in cell culture, an antigen capture ELISA was developed. In this assay FIV specific IgG was used as a capture antibody and the same preparation coupled to biotine as a conjugate. With this test viral antigen could be demonstrated in FIV infected cell cultures within four days after infection and the assay proved to be at least as sensitive as a reverse transcriptase test in demonstrating virus infected cultures. A modification of this assay in which a titrated amount of FIV antigen was incubated with dilutions of serum samples of naturally or experimentally infected cats, allowed the detection of FIV specific antibodies. In a serological survey, conducted among cats with different clinical histories in The Netherlands and The Federal Republic of Germany, the antibody inhibition ELISA was compared with a commercially (IDEXX) available indirect ELISA system. It was shown that both assays identified nine seropositive cats among 200 animals with a history of undefined chronic disease, whereas no positive reactions were obtained with 65 serum samples from apparently healthy animals. Both assays also gave positive results with serum samples from experimentally infected cats, within five weeks after infection. Of an additional panel of eight serum samples which had been found positive in the IDEXX indirect ELISA system, only five were found positive in the antibody inhibition ELISA and western blotting assay.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

D011237 Predictive Value of Tests In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

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.

D016089 Immunodeficiency Virus, Feline A species of LENTIVIRUS, subgenus feline lentiviruses (LENTIVIRUSES, FELINE) isolated from cats with a chronic wasting syndrome, presumed to be immune deficiency. There are 3 strains: Petaluma (FIP-P), Oma (FIP-O) and Puma lentivirus (PLV). There is no antigenic relationship between FIV and HIV, nor does FIV grow in human T-cells.
