Chromosomal aberrations in leukemic cats
The Cornell Veterinarian
|January 1, 1981
Abstract:
The bone marrows of two female acute lymphoblastic leukemic cats were studied cytogenetically with the conventional and one also with the G-banding techniques. Both cats had marked aneuploidies. Cat leukemia is caused by virus, FeLV. Perhaps, this virus is capable of affecting cat chromosomes and as a result of this process converts the normal cells into leukemic cells.
