 AB    The mechanism of cell death induced by feline immunodeficiency virus
       (FIV) infection was investigated in an interleukin 2(IL-2)-dependent
       T-lymphoblastoid cell line (MYA-1). DNA extracted from FIV-infected
       MYA-1 cells showed a ladder of nucleosomal DNA, indicating that the
       cytopathic effect (CPE) observed in these cells was due to apoptosis.
       Infection of MYA-1 cells with FIV was associated with suppression of the
       proliferative response of the cells to exogenous IL-2 prior to DNA
       fragmentation. These findings suggest that FIV-induced CPE in these
       T-lymphoblastoid cells is associated with apoptosis possibly due to a
       defect in the IL-2 signal transduction pathway.
