rabies encephalitis: immunohistochemical investigations.three cases of human rabies encephalitis were studied immunohistochemically using a specific antiserum to rabies ribonucleoprotein (rnp) and the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method. in this way, rnp could be specifically demonstrated in all cerebral regions and the spinal cord with a predilection for virus attack on the diencephalon and the brain stem according to the clinical course of the disease, and possibly reflecting the phenomenon of pathoclisis. virus antigen was mainly present in the nerve ...19853902307
direct immunoperoxidase test in the diagnosis of rabies--an alternative to fluorescent antibody test.direct immunoperoxidase test was run parallel to fluorescent antibody test using known rabies-positive and negative materials. both the tests had 100.0% sensitivity and specificity when mice brain infected with cvs strain of rabies virus was used. with the field samples and the mice brains infected with these, the sensitivity of direct immunoperoxidase test and also of fluorescent antibody test dropped a little, giving an overall sensitivity of 95.3 and 99.0 percent respectively. the standardiza ...19853902698
use of a monoclonal antibody for quantitation of rabies vaccine glycoprotein by enzyme immunoassay.the use of a monoclonal antibody specific for the envelope glycoprotein of rabies virus has been used in a direct enzyme immunoassay to quantify the glycoprotein content of rabies vaccines produced in two kinds of cell culture. the results of this direct enzyme immunoassay are well correlated with the in vivo nih potency test. this test may be a useful tool to rapidly and accurately control the antigenic value of a vaccine. it could also be used for the "in process' control of vaccine production ...19853902842
virulence of chick embryo fibroblast-passaged flury hep rabies virus and its revertants in mice.chick embryo fibroblast-passaged flury high egg passage (hep) rabies virus failed to kill nude mice or cyclophosphamide-treated mice when inoculated intracerebrally. the virus regained neurovirulence for adult mice after three passages in mouse neuroblastoma c1300 cells (na cells). however, even after 20 passages in na cells, the virulence could not be increased to the level shown by the virus passaged several times in suckling mice. some physiological and biological properties of the virus show ...19853906372
rabies virus in different segments of brain and spinal cord of naturally and experimentally infected dogs.in order to determine the presence of rabies virus in different segments of central nervous system (cns) of rabid animals, 31 naturally infected dogs and 6 experimentally injected ones by masseter inoculation were studied by means of fluorescent antibody (fa) technique and mouse intracerebral inoculation (mi) test. in the naturally infected group, the positivity by fa technique was 100.0% for the segments of ammon's horn, cerebellum, bulb and for cervical, lumbar and sacral cord and 96.7%; for t ...19853908355

a centennial celebration: pasteur and the modern era of immunization.pasteur's injection of inactivated rabies virus into a 9-year-old child who had been bitten by a rabid dog in 1885 marked the beginning of the modern era of immunization. by 1890, rabies treatment centers had been established throughout the world. the basic pasteur treatment, based on brain tissue vaccine with the addition of formaldehyde, is still used in many countries. in the us and other developed countries, more potent, safer, but expensive cell culture-based rabies vaccines are combined ...19853923322
rabies in the united states and canada, 1983.primarily as a result of organized canine rabies vaccination, leash laws, and other preventive procedures aimed at the canine population, the number of rabid dogs decreased markedly in the last thirty years (figure 10). this decrease was accompanied by a similar marked reduction in human rabies (table 2, figure 11). as domestic animal rabies declined, rabies in wildlife increased. since 1958 the number of cases of rabid wildlife surpassed domestic rabies cases, and today they account for over 85 ...19853932839
antigenic variants of cvs rabies virus with altered glycosylation sites.the virion-associated glycoprotein of the cvs-11 strain of rabies virus exists in two forms, gi and gii, which differ in their carbohydrate content. the structural relationship between gi and gii is investigated in order to account for the difference in glycosylation. partial sequence analysis and mapping of tryptic glycopeptides isolated from the parent cvs-11 gi and gii glycoprotein forms revealed that two of the three predicted glycosylation sites (at asn-204 and asn-319) were utilized in the ...19853966297

rabies virus interaction with various cell lines is independent of the acetylcholine receptor.rabies virus infects most cells in vitro. the presence of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on the plasma membrane of various cell lines is not an obligate factor for rabies virus susceptibility of those cells.19853994518
persistent infection of rabies virus (hep-flury strain) in human neuroblastoma cells capable of producing interferon.apparent interferon-mediated persistent infection of rabies virus (hep-flury strain) was established in a human neuroblastoma sym-i (clone k-104) cell line, which had the ability to produce interferon. this infection produced variable but small amounts of progeny virus and interferon (up to 100 iu/ml), and resisted superinfection with vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv) and sindbis virus as well as homologous rabies virus. the treatment of this infection with anti-interferon antibody stimulated vir ...19853998711
a descriptive epidemiological study of raccoon rabies in a rural environment.a recent outbreak of rabies in raccoons, procyon lotor (l.), in loudoun county, virginia (1981-82), prompted a study of the epidemiology of the disease. parameters studied included the occurrence and movement of the disease over time, sex and age relationships, and behavior patterns of raccoons. during the 18 mo, 427 raccoons were tested, of which 75% were infected with rabies virus. interpretation of rainfall data and the subsequent spatial occurrence of infected raccoons within the county indi ...19853999245

pre-exposure rabies immunization with human diploid cell vaccine: decreased antibody responses in persons immunized in developing countries.in november 1982, a u.s. peace corps volunteer in kenya completed pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis with a standard 3 dose intradermal (id) series of human diploid cell rabies vaccine (hdcv). in may 1983, she was bitten by a dog and died of rabies 3 months later. an initial investigation revealed that the patient, as well as 9 of 11 others immunized at the same time, had no rabies antibody titers (less than 1:5). we therefore instituted investigations into the immunogenicity of pre-exposure hdcv b ...19854003672
rhesus diploid rabies vaccine (adsorbed): a new rabies vaccine using frhl-2 cells.the frhl-2 cell line, a diploid line derived from the lung of a fetal rhesus monkey, was used to prepare a potent rabies vaccine by adapting the kissling strain of rabies virus to frhl-2 cells, growing the virus in quantity, inactivating the virus with beta-propiolactone, and concentrating the virus by adsorption to aluminum phosphate. high levels of antibody to rabies virus, induced by the vaccine in both guinea pigs and humans at 14 days after immunization, were determined to be igg. data from ...19854008986
pathogenesis of street rabies virus infections in resistant and susceptible strains of mice.seven strains of mice were examined to determine why susceptibility differences and variations in clinical central nervous system (cns) disease occurred among these animals after intraperitoneal inoculation of street rabies virus (srv). trace experiments for infectious virus indicated that these differences were associated with restriction of virus replication within the cns. limitation of viral replication appeared to correlate with the antibody response in that prominent serum anti-srv neutral ...19854020967
[pre-exposure rabies vaccination using a new duck embryo vaccine].an economical, highly purified and concentrated duck embryo rabies vaccine (pdev) was investigated in relation to pre-exposure rabies prophylaxis. the vaccine was injected subcutaneously according to the then prescribed scheme for human diploid cell rabies vaccines (hdcv). additionally, a third dose was given on day 120. serum anti-rabies antibody levels were determined on days 0, 56, 120, und 170. on day 56 all volunteers showed an anti-rabies antibody level of at least 1.0 iu/ml, indicating th ...19854023675

rabies virulence: effect on pathogenicity and sequence characterization of rabies virus mutations affecting antigenic site iii of the glycoprotein.using four neutralizing monoclonal antibodies which presumably bind to the same antigenic site on the cvs glycoprotein (antigenic site iii as defined by cross-neutralization tests), we isolated 58 mutants of the cvs strain of rabies virus. these mutants were highly resistant to the selecting antibodies and grew efficiently in cell cultures. we classified them into five groups on the basis of the pattern of resistance to the four antibodies. we determined pathogenicities of the mutants for adult ...19852579247
[effects of rabies infection on the metabolism of the host-cell: does inhibition of cellular rna synthesis take place?].acute infection of cloned bhk21 cells with rabies virus (cvs strain) resulted in a reduction in the amount of cellular rna, not so rapid and pronounced as with another rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus (vsv). this decrease in the amount of cellular rna was shown to be caused by a differential membrane permeability of infected and uninfected bhk21 cells to [3h]-uridine and by a real inhibition of cellular rna synthesis.19852581678
immunomodulation by bordetella pertussis: antiviral effects.treatment of mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of pertussis vaccine or lipopolysaccharide extracted from b. pertussis will effect resistance to rabies virus, encephalomyocarditis virus, semliki forest virus, and herpes simplex virus. our previous observations indicated that treatment of c3h/hen (+/nu) and bdf1 mice with pertussis vaccine injected i.p. five days prior to a mouse adenovirus lethal dose i.p. challenge elicited resistance to clinical disease and death. susceptibility returned to a ...19852872109
experimental rabies in hibernator rodents.experiments carried out in different seasons with different strains of rabies virus have shown that hibernation prolonged the incubation period in sousliks (citellus major pall.). mean survival of the animals infected during the active period was 32 days, while during hibernation it was 147.3 days (p less than 0.05), in some cases up to 251 days. the virus was isolated from and/or detected by fluorescent antibody test in 50% of cases in the brown fat and in some cases in the salivary glands and ...19852859761
characteristics of cellular and humoral immune responses after immunization with different rabies vaccines.three rabies vaccines were compared: 1. the fermi type vaccine, a phenol-treated suspension of brain tissue from infected sheep; 2. a virus grown in sheep brain, purified from the contaminating material to 85-90% and inactivated with beta-propiolactone; 3. and the mniip-74 strain cultured in japanese quail embryo cells and inactivated with beta-propiolactone. a single immunization of mice with any of the preparations resulted in about 50% inhibition of splenocyte migration after 2 days; by day 1 ...19852860797
interferonogenicity of rabies vaccines as related to their therapeutic and prophylactic activities.non-interferonogenic rabies vaccine prepared from a virus grown in sheep brain and devoid of neuroallergenic factor and an interferonogenic vaccine from the same virus strain cultured in japanese quail embryo cells have been compared. in mouse experiments both preparations appeared to have identical therapeutic and prophylactic efficacy. it seems that interferonogenicity of rabies vaccines cannot be used as a criterion of their prophylactic or therapeutic effects. the effectiveness of exogenous ...19852866692
effect of amantadine on rhabdovirus infection.enveloped viruses enter host cells by fusion or viropexis. the latter mechanism is the prevalent entry pathway of rhabdoviruses into susceptible cells. amantadine, a lysosomotropic agent, inhibits the multiplication of various groups of viruses. the effect of this drug was investigated on vesicular stomatitis virus and rabies fixed virus strain replication in fibroblasts. amantadine was added to cells before, during and after infection to detect the phase of viral replication affected by the dru ...19853013559
biologically active peptides of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein.a peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal 25 amino acids of the mature vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein has recently been shown to be a ph-dependent hemolysin. in the present study, we analyzed smaller constituent peptides and found that the hemolytic domain resides within the six amino-terminal amino acids. synthesis of variant peptides indicates that the amino-terminal lysine can be replaced by another positively charged amino acid (arginine) but that substitution with glutamic acid ...19852981356

rabies in insectivorous bats of western canada, 1979 to 1983.a total of 1,745, 362, and 536 bats collected in alberta, british columbia, and saskatchewan, respectively, was tested for rabies virus between 1979 and 1983. only one (0.1%) of 769 bats collected at random from buildings was infected with rabies virus in contrast to 95 (5%) of 1,874 symptomatic, rabies-suspect bats submitted for testing. the pattern of infection in the rabies-suspect bats was similar in alberta and saskatchewan, but differed in british columbia. rabies was diagnosed in four spe ...19863735577
oral vaccination of the fox against rabies using a live recombinant vaccinia virus.rabies, a viral disease affecting all warm-blooded animals, is prevalent in most parts of the world, where it propagates amongst wild animals, particularly the fox and dog. the public health and economic consequences of infection in man and livestock are well known. attempts to control the disease by vaccinating wild carnivores with inactivated or attenuated rabies virus remain controversial, and we have instead evaluated here the potential of a recombinant vaccinia virus to protect foxes agains ...19863736663

pleomorphism of fine structure of rabies virus in human and experimental brain.identification of the negri bodies in the brain of an 8-year-old boy who died 8 days after a paralytic illness and 20 days after a dog bite, and who had received 9 injections of semple's anti-rabies vaccine, provided evidence that he died of acute rabies encephalitis and not of post-vaccinal allergic encephalomyelitis. the negri bodies in the human subject and those seen in the inoculated mouse differed in their morphological structure: the former consisted of a matrix of very fine granular mate ...19863760910

cloning of rabies virus matrix protein mrna and determination of its amino acid sequence.a cdna clone of mrna for rabies virus matrix (m) protein has been identified. the clone hybridizes to an mrna species from rabies virus-infected cells, whose size correlates to the size of the m protein in rabies virions, and selects an mrna that translates into a polypeptide corresponding in size to m protein. the nucleotide sequence of the cloned cdna was determined and from this a complete amino acid sequence for m protein was deduced. the deduced sequence of 202 amino acids bears no detectab ...19863765822
major antigenic groups of rabies virus in canada determined by anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies.a total of 123 rabies virus isolates from various geographical areas in canada were characterized by a panel of 43 anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibodies. four major antigenic groups are found in terrestrial mammals: "canadian arctic" from ontario, quebec and the northwest territories; "south-eastern georgian bay" from ontario; "south mid-central skunk" from alberta, saskatchewan and manitoba; and "brook's, alberta skunk" from a restricted area in alberta. bat isolates can be divided into 4 maj ...19863769442

experimental rabies: ultrastructural quantitative analysis of the changes in the sciatic nerve.to study the pathology of peripheral nerves in experimental rabies infection, street rabies virus ws inoculated into the right footpad of two groups of mice, a and b, which received, respectively, 10(4.5) ld50 and 10(3.5) ld50 of the virus. paralysis was observed in 60% of animals of group a and 20% of group b. the main ultrastructural abnormality present in the sciatic nerves was degeneration of about 40% of myelinated axons. only occasional unmyelinated axons were degenerated. figures were sim ...19863792512
validation of an in vitro assay for the determination of rabies antigen.the modified antibody binding test, an in vitro method, was validated by a number of studies and was used as a reliable method for in process controls in the manufacture of rabies vaccines for man and animals over the last 6 years. a calculation was made showing the number of laboratory mice which were not needed for animal experiments because these were substituted by the in vitro method mentioned above.19863792659
alternatives for potency testing of veterinary vaccines: rabies vaccine as a model.optimum information about potency of a vaccine is achieved by a protection test on the target animal species. however, application of this procedure to routine batch control requires a great number of target animals. in order to reduce the number of such animals, laboratory animal tests or in vitro tests have to be established. these tests must be correlated to target animal protection tests allowing the estimation of the vaccine potency with the same accuracy. with respect to testing the potenc ...19863792660
[comparative assessment of the neurovirulence of vaccinal strains of the rabies virus].neurovirulence of three vaccine strains of rabies virus ("moscow", "vnukovo-32", and "mivp-74") was studied in mice using pathomorphology data. after intracerebral inoculations changes in the cns were similar. the presence and the degree of the involvement of the ammon horn is the main indicator of the infectious activity of the strain. the disease and death of the animals after inoculation with an attenuated strain may be due to the damage of intermediate neurons of descending projection tracts ...19863798910
