There are 3 antigenic subgroups which are defined by the gp70 regulated viral response:
 
*Group A is transmitted between cats and is monotypic: one vaccine covers all isolates. Infection with this viral subgroup leads to '''[[Lymphoma|lymphosarcoma]]'''.

*Group B is recombinant with transmissible FeLV-A; infection with viruses of this subgroup increases the chance of developing '''[[Thymus - Pathology|thymic tumours]]'''.

*Group C is a mutant of subgroup A. Isolates are rare, and occur as A+C mixes, leading to an increased chance of developing '''[[Regenerative and Non-Regenerative Anaemias|anaemia]]'''.
