Determination of Maternal Rabies Virus Neutralizing Antibody in Young Puppies

Titration of Rinderpest Virus and Its Neutralizing Antibody

rabies neutralizing antibody level in immunosuppressed patients after receive of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis

introduction rabies is a fatal disease and has a threatening risk for the public health. immunosuppression is related to a wide variety of diseases. it is recommended that immunosuppressed patients receive the full post-exposure vaccination, concerning that the immune response may be inadequate. the aim of this study is to determine the level of rabies neutralizing antibody in immunosuppressed ...

Evaluation of Rapid Neutralizing Antibody Detection Test against Rabies Virus in Human Sera

Rapid and easy determination of protective neutralization antibody (NAb) against rabies in the field is very important for an early and effective response to rabies in both animal and human health sectors. The rapid neutralizing antibody detection test (RAPINA), first developed in 2009 and then improved in 2012, is a quick test allowing detection of 0.5 IU/ml antibodies in human and animal sera...

Effective vaccination against rabies in puppies in rabies endemic regions

In rabies endemic regions, a proportionally higher incidence of rabies is often reported in dogs younger than 12 months of age, which includes puppies less than 3 months of age; this presents a serious risk to public health. The higher incidence of rabies in young dogs may be the effect of low vaccination coverage in this age class, partly as a result of the perception that immature immune syst...

Transient Expression of Biologically Active Anti-rabies Virus Monoclonal Antibody in Tobacco Leaves

Background: Rabies virus is a neurotropic virus that causes fatal, but, a preventable disease in mammals. Administration of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) is essential for the post-exposure of the prophylaxis to prevent the disease. However, replacement of polyclonal RIGs with alternative monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are capable of neutralizing rabies virus has been recommend...
