It is well documented that several cell surface molecules of T lymphocytes are altered by immune activation. We previously reported that feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection induces a reduction in CD8beta chain expression of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in cats. In this study, we performed three-color flow-cytometric analysis for activation-associated cell surface molecules (CD2, CD11a,...
