  1. Feline calicivirus (FCV) vaccines registered and used in Sweden either contain F9 or 255 only, or a combination of G1 and 431 vaccine strains. The cutoff for a positive neutralizing titer was set to ≥5. The result “possibly negative” indicates that one of the paired neutralizing sera was negative, while the other gave a positive (≥ 5) neutralization titer
