Overview

A study testing human interferon-α2a (huIFN-α2a), 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT), and a combination of both on cats naturally infected with feline leukemia virus (FeLV) showed no significant improvement in clinical variables or laboratory parameters after 6 weeks of treatment. Although no notable side effects were observed, this regimen did not demonstrate efficacy in treating FeLV infection.
