Immunomodulation and therapeutic effects of the oral use of interferon-alpha: Mechanism of action

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF INTERFERON AND CYTOKINE RESEARCH, 19(8), 817–828.

MeSH headings : Adjuvants, Immunologic / therapeutic use; Administration, Oral; Antibody Formation; Dose-Response Relationship, Drug; Humans; Interferon-alpha / therapeutic use; Mucous Membrane / drug effects; Mucous Membrane / immunology
TL;DR: It is suggested that IFN-alpha administered to mucosal-associated immune tissue replicates the known physiological role of IFn-alpha, including regulation of CD4+ Th1 immunomodulatory cells and activation of CD8+ effector cells, which are both crucial to development of protective immune responses.

TL;DR: The progressive expansion of the CD8alpha+betaloCD62L- effector subset cells in FIV-infected cats parallels that seen in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients, suggesting that failure in homeostatic mechanisms regulating lymphocyte activation or trafficking (or both) may be a consequence of both HIV and FIV infections.

TL;DR: Electroejaculates from four specific-pathogen-free males infected with another laboratory strain, FIV-Petaluma, and eight random source males with naturally acquired infections confirm that FIV shedding in semen is not restricted to a specific virus isolate, and swim-up sperm from Fiv- infected cats may be infectious in vitro.
