Then, I am more confused --- for FIP treatment, interferon is suggested, but since the virus attack their immune system, they use steroid to suppress the immune system, but then why would the use interferon to boost the immune system?   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 5:44 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: is interferon immune booster or suppresant??   booster   steroids and chemo drugs are the only immune suppressants I know of (that we purposefully administer, anyway)   Michelle   In a message dated 9/14/2006 7:38:38 P.M.
