Immunohistochemical examinations of localization of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) Gag protein were performed on lymph nodes of cats experimentally inoculated with three different strains of FIV (infectious molecular clone of TM 1, Petaluma, and KYO-1 strains), using rabbit anti-FIV Gag serum. The FIV Gag antigens were observed in many follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) and sparsely in small lymphocytes of paracortical area in the lymph nodes of cats inoculated with Petaluma and KYO-1 strains. However, the antigens were present only in small lymphocytes, and not in FDCs of a cat inoculated with infectious molecular clone of the TM1 strain. The cell type differences in expression of the viral antigen in vivo might reflect on the cell tropisms of the FIV strains in vitro. By double immunohistochemical staining with rabbit anti-FIV Gag serum and monoclonal antibodies which recognize feline CD4, feline CD8 or feline pan-T molecules, the FIV Gag-positive lymphocytes were characterized as feline CD4-positive T cells. Since the distributions of FIV Gag antigens were mainly in the FDCs, the FDCs may play an important role as a major reservoir and may be a primary target of FIV at early stages of infection.

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.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
