title: Immunization against feline oncarnavirus disease using a killed tumor cell vaccine.
abstract: Specific pathogen-free cats were immunized with an inactivated feline oncornavirus tumor cell vaccine. Immunized cats produced high antibody titers to the feline oncornavirus-associated cell membrane antigen and were protected from oncogenic feline sarcoma virus challenge. However, immunization did not produce virus-neutralizing antibody nor did it prevent viremia.
