Abstract excerpt
The molecular mechanism involved in cytopathogenicity of rabies virus has not been fully elucidated yet. A fixed rabies virus Nishigahara strain does not induce clear cytopathic effect (CPE) in mouse neuroblastoma (NA) cells, whereas Ni-CE strain, which was established after 100 passages of Nishigahara strain in chicken embryo fibroblast cells, induces CPE that is characterized by rounding, shrinkage and...
