Mono:
HCT:
TP:
Glob:
- + Neutrophils (segmented and band)
- - Lymphocytes
- + Mono
- +/- HCT dep on hydration
- + TP
- + Glob
CBC on a FIP+ P will reveal ____ & ____
- Inflammatory leukogram
- Anemia (d/t chronic inflammation)
Which globulins would be elevated in an FIP+ P (electrophoresis)
- +Alpha
- ++ Beta
- +++ Gamma
Appearance of Abd fluid

How do some cats eliminate FIP virus
- Requires Cell Mediated=> Strong Th1 Response
- (CTL's and macrophages)
Wet Form VS Dry Form
- Wet Form= Strong Th2
- Dry Form= Weak Th2
Pathogenesis of Th2 Response
- Ab production
- Ab-Ag complexes on vessels
- Complement Activated ->
- Chemotaxis of Neutrophils (damages vessels)
- Macro Cytokines -> chemotaxis (more damage)
How does Ab accelerate FIP?
- Induces Immune Complex Formation
- Enhances viral uptake by macrophages
How does Vx accelerate FIP?

Ag increases Ab-Ag complexes
Tx of FIP
- Immunosuppressive
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antibiotics
- Human Recombinant Iterferon-alpha (anti-viral)
