Abstract

The commentary of Donaldson and colleagues lists several of the unanswered questions concerning the potential oncogenicity of feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) in human beings. As a contribution to this debate, we report a study in patients with haematological neoplasms, carried out with immunological and molecular techniques.
