"Vaccination and Systemic Disease in Cats"
Dr. Lappin's research has discovered that cats not only develop antibodies to the antigens in vaccines as intended, but they also develop antibodies to components of the feline kidney cell culture system used to produce vaccines. Is it possible that over-vaccination induces antibodies that are associated with immune-mediated kidney disease in cats?Jane Brunt, DVM
