[pathomorphology of abortive rabies].	white random-bred mice inoculated intraperitoneally with street rabies virus were found to have numerous babes-negri bodies in cerebral neurons very frequently up to 5 days of the disease. on the 7-11th days of the disease the inclusions were found in some neurons in 11 of 17 mice examined. among 24 mice with abortive rabies (recovering completely or surviving with residual symptoms such as pareses or paralysis) examined on the 20-240th days after the onset occasional babes-negri bodies were fou ...	1981	7257316
[rna synthesis in cells chronically infected with rabies virus].	rnas of predominantly subgenome size were synthesized in bhk-21 and hep-2 cells chronically infected with rabies virus in the presence of actinomycin d. an analysis of glyoxale-denaturated intracellular viral rnas in agarose gel showed the subgenome size of rna not to be due to its conformation alterations. hybridization of intracellular rnas with 125i-rna or k3h-kdna of rabies virus demonstrated marked reduction in both transcription and replication of viral genome in chronic infection as compa ...	1981	7257325

experimental rabies in cats: immune response and persistence of immunity.	experimental rabies was studied in cats under defined conditions. a correlation between the virus dosage and the incubation period was established and results were compared with those published previously by others. the susceptibility of cats to rabies virus appears to be paradoxical. the persistence of the immunity induced by an inactivated rabies vaccine prepared form cell culture-propagated virus used in combination with feline panleukopenia vaccine, with or without adjuvant, was studied thro ...	1981	7261592
[electron microscopic study of cell cultures chronically infected with fixed rabies virus].	hep-2 and vero cell cultures chronically infected with rabies virus were examined electron microscopically. in the cytoplasm and intercellular spaces of these cultures structures were found morphologically similar to virus particles previously described in cells acutely infected with rabies virus. the observed virus particles were elongated, oval or spherical in shape. their inner structure appeared as homogeneous material of varying optic density surrounded with a 3-layer membrane. changes in t ...	1981	7269529
intermittent excretion of rabies virus in the saliva of a dog two and six months after it had recovered from experimental rabies.	a dog inoculated with a rabies virus isolate from the saliva of an apparently healthy ethiopian dog was followed for more than 9 months. saliva and blood specimens were collected three times weekly and cerebrospinal fluid weekly. saliva samples collected on days 42 and 169 after the dog's recovery produced fatal rabies infections in mice inoculated intracerebrally.	1981	7283008
defective interfering particles of fixed rabies viruses: lack of correlation with attenuation or auto-interference in mice.	six different fixed strains of rabies virus were analysed for their capacity to produce defective particles following acute infection of bhk-21 cells. five of the six strains produced one or more defective particle populations with strain-specific sedimentation properties, particle length and abbreviated rna genome size. these defective particles varied in their capacity to interfere with replication of standard rabies virus in cell culture. each virus strain characteristically either killed adu ...	1981	7288395
[2 biological variants of the rabies virus obtained from 1 strain].	two variants of rabies virus were obtained in experimental mice from one wild strain. they differed in the duration of the incubation and clinical periods and in virus titres. one virus variant produced an acute disease and the other acute and chronic forms of the disease. these properties persisted throughout 21 and 12 successive passages, respectively.	1981	7293162
bcg modulation of delayed type hypersensitivity, humoral response and acquired resistance after rabies vaccination.	the immunopotentiating action of bcg was evaluated in rabies. the maximum enhancing effect on delayed type hypersensitivity (dth) was obtained 14 days after rabies immunization when different bcg vaccination schedules were tested in mice. a stable form of specific sensitization to rabies antigen under the modulation of bcg pretreatment was obtained. high concentrations of rabies antigen were found to be inhibitory for the dth reaction. levels of protection were evaluated in rabies vaccination af ...	1981	7295038
booster effect of human diploid cell antirabies vaccine in previously treated persons.	contact was maintained with 27 of 45 persons for four years after their severe exposure to rabies virus and successful protection. during that time, these persons showed no adverse effects of treatment and maintained rabies-neutralizing antibody at the level of 2 to 91 iu/ml of serum. after a single booster inoculation of human diploid cell culture vaccine four years after the initial treatment, levels of neutralizing antibodies rose to 36 to 650 iu/ml of serum ten days after the booster inocula ...	1981	7299954

comparative study of rabies virus persistence in human and hamster cell lines.	persistent infections by rabies virus in bhk-21/13s and hep-2 cells were studied comparatively. no evidence of interferon production, selection of virus-resistant cells, or integration of the viral genome could be found. persisting viruses replicated efficiently at 34, 36, and 40 degrees c. both persistently infected cultures released defective interfering virus particles. a cyclical pattern of infection, which was not characteristic of the persistently infected hep-2 system, was observed in per ...	1981	7218421
