RNA in-situ hybridization for pathology-based diagnosis of feline infectious peritonitis (FIP): current diagnostics for FIP and comparison to the current gold standard
Abstract:Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a systemic disease of cats caused by a highly pathogenic variant of feline coronavirus, or FCoV. Two distinct genotypes of FCoV exist (also referred to as serotypes): Type 1 viruses constitute the vast majority of FIP cases, while type 2 viruses are responsible for the remaining infections. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) currently serves as the gold standard for diagnosis of FIP; however, IHC is limited by variations in sensitivity. RNA in situ hybridization (RNA ISH) has an … Show more
