Izolacja wirusa wscieklizny na komorkach mysiej neuroblastomy

Two official methods are most commonly employed in laboratory proceedings aimed at confirming the existence of rabies in animals: the fluorescent antibody test (FAT) and mouse innoculation test. Introducing the rabies tissue culture infection test (RTCIT), that serves to multiply the virus into cell culture may improve and reduce laboratory procedure time. In our examination we managed to detect the virus in naturally and experimentally infected animals. The method proved to be as efficient as the mouse inoculation test, but its results could be obtained more rapidly. The advantages and limitations of the test are discussed in this article.
