Transcriptomic profiles of Crandell-Rees feline kidney cells infected with Varicellovirus felidalpha-1 (FHV-1) field and vaccine strains

This study demonstrates the host and viral gene expressions during FHV-1 infection shows the distinct host responses to field and vaccine strains using an in vitro model. These findings provide a foundation for future transcriptomic investigations in other cell types, including ex-vivo explants systems, to enhance our understanding of host and viral factors contributing to disease outcomes.
