    Abstract

    The ability of several known anti-HIV substances to inhibit feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was tested. The results showed that FIV infection of feline T-cells was almost completely blocked in the presence of all of the agents tested. However, FIV-induced syncytium formation between a human T-cell line (MT-2 cells) and a FIV-infected feline lymphocyte cell line (3201/FIV) was inhibited only by dextran sulfate and pradimicin A. The assay used to measure syncytium inhibition was rapid and did not use potentially hazardous human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected cells. The efficacy results coincided with those of HIV studies.
