Abstract
⺠We developed a real-time PCR assay for fTHTR1 (feline thiamine transport protein 1). ⺠Expression of fTHTR1, the receptor for FeLV A, was detectable in all tissues tested. ⺠Particularly high fTHTR1 levels were found at sites of virus entry and shedding. ⺠Detection of significant fTHTR1 differences relied on suitable normalization. ⺠Differences in FeLV susceptibility were not ascribable to fTHTR1 gene variations.
