Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Cat Diseases:

1.	VaccinesIBA 01/01/2005 - "Broader applications of the ELISPOT should further our understanding of feline diseases and be useful in the rational development of more efficacious vaccines and therapeutic modalities for the enhancement of feline health. "
2.	Proteins (Proteins, Gene)IBA 04/02/2002 - "Closely related proteins have been identified in other animals, and a human homolog is implicated in the genetic disease Cat-Eye Syndrome. "
3.	Hydroxyurea (Hydrea)FDA LinkGeneric 09/01/1995 - "Polycythemia vera is an uncommon feline disease, and clinical reports on the use of hydroxyurea to manage the condition in the cat are lacking."
4.	DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)IBA 01/01/1991 - "The course of the feline disease is characterized by an age-dependent prodromal period during which a non-disease-specific, common form of proviral DNA is detected in bone marrow. "
5.	Dietary Fats (Ghee)IBA 11/01/1997 - "Thus, in epidemiological studies on the possible relationship between dietary fat type and feline disease the fatty acid composition of adipose tissue might be a useful measure."
6.	AldosteroneIBA 09/01/2011 - "This article reviews the physiology of aldosterone production and the pathophysiology of primary hyperaldosteronism, and summarises the currently available literature on the feline disease. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Heterologous Transplantation (Xenotransplantation) 05/01/1994 - "By addressing toxic nodular goiter of the cat, the history, morphologic findings, xenotransplantation and cell culture studies, evidence for and against circulating thyroid stimulators and epizootiological studies of the feline disease have been summarized.
