In vitro data suggest that innate immune function in human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected patients is compromised; however, in vivo studies are lacking. Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection in cats provides an excellent model to explore innate immune function in vivo. The innate response against Listeria monocytogenes is well understood, making it a useful immune probe.
