The Immunology of the Cat, 1st Edition, offers a single-source review examining feline immune function alongside immunologic aspects of cat diseases. Written for small-animal veterinarians, feline specialists, and veterinary clinical researchers, this volume establishes essential biological foundations. The text covers feline evolution and domestication, as well as feline ontogeny, reproduction, and lactation.
Moving into core defense systems, the text outlines feline innate immunity alongside hematological components, including leukocytes and erythrocytes. It explains signaling molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, and interferons. Further sections detail feline antigen-presenting cells, specifically dendritic cells and macrophages, along with the structural organization of feline lymphoid organs.
The final chapters focus on practical immunopathology and preventative care. The work addresses feline vaccines and protective immunization principles for practitioners. It also details immediate hypersensitivity, allergic diseases, eosinophilic conditions, and local immune complex lesions encountered in feline clinical practice.
