Isolation of Field Rabies Virus Strains in CER and Murine Neuroblastoma Cell Cultures

Abstract
Infection of CER [hamster heteroploid] and murine neuroblastoma (clone N18) cell cultures by inoculation of brain tissue from rabid skunks, dogs, equines, foxes, bats and cows was detected by immunofluorescence 2-5 days after inoculation. The study was made to study the diagnostic potential of these cell types.
