At present, no unifying animal study to quantify the effect of PI on innate immunity in animals has been reported. This study quantifies the effect of PI in mice and THP-1 cells using a multi-disciplinary approach employing flow cytometry to measure immune function and mass spectroscopy to identify metabolomic profiles of treated cells. For proof of principle, a case study was conducted to examine the potential benefit of administering PI to improve outcomes of a feline leukemia-positive cat that also contracted the effusive form of FIP. Our results indicate that quantifiable cellular and metabolic markers result from PI treatment and can be used to establish a platform measuring the efficacy of PI in modulating the innate immune system.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
