Biological effects of staphylococcal protein A immunotherapy in cats with induced feline leukemia virus infection

Biological effects of staphylococcal protein A (SPA) immunotherapy were studied in 5 viremic and 6 nonviremic cats with induced FeLV infection and in 6 control cats. The SPA therapy neither reversed FeLV viremia nor resulted in consistent improvement in humoral immune responses to FELV antigens. However, SPA immunotherapy induced a proliferative response in bone marrow granulocytic lineage, possibly resulting in expression of FeLV-free mature neutrophils in the blood. Seemingly, viral burden and chemiluminescent responses were reversed in viremic cats during SPA immunotherapy.
