1 A Feline-specific Blood Brain Barrier

2 Feline Immunodeficiency Virus Lentivirus Natural infection in cats worldwide Induces disease Animal model of HIV infection in man

3 Feline immunodeficiency virus infection - a model of HIV-1 induced encephalitis HIV and FIV neurotropic Early infection of CNS Neuroinflammation and degeneration Limited opportunities to study early infection Requires well-evaluated animal models »SIV »FIV

7 Aims –To investigate the ability of cell- free & cell-associated FIV to cross the in vitro BBB, and the effect of inflammatory cytokines on this process.
