"I was appalled to hear that they were using human interferon in cats --and not surprised they developed antibody. To my knowledge the human and cat don't cross react. If they do I'm surprised. The other results you mentioned were fascinating. Please let me know how things develop --it isnot an area I am very familiar with."
He was referring to the feline specific interferon. So, even among scientists there remains some question about whether human interferon (which is all we have right now) is even effective or good for the cat in the long run.
To me, this just highlights the fact that we are out here in uncharted waters. While giving interferon in the food may not be the preferred method, I can't believe some isn't absorbed in the mouth before heading downward.
