Abstract The use of orally administered interferon-α as a treatment for retroviral disease was evaluated in the experimental model of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV)-induced erythroid aplasia. Progressive anaemia, FeLV viraemia, and leukopenia developed in cats inoculated with the Kawakami-Theilen isolate of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV-KT). A treatment regimen with orally administered recombinant interferon-α or natural interferon-α as employed in this study had no significant effects on viraemia, course of disease, or differential leucocyte counts. The results of this study did not reveal any beneficial effects of human interferon-α administered by the oral route for treatment of cats with experimentally induced FeLV infection.
