A Mouse Model for Post-Exposure Rabies Prophylaxis: The Comparative Efficacy of Two Vaccines and of Antiserum Administration
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mice challenged with rabies virus were vaccinated 24 h later with one of two types of rabies vaccine. Vaccine prepared from a BHK cell substrate resulted in the production of serum interferon and neutralizing antibody, whereas vaccine prepared from a human diploid cell substrate gave rise to neutralizing antibody but no interferon. Only the first vaccine was effective in reducing mortality. Various combinations of mouse hyperimmune antiserum, purified igG, complement and RNase were administered to other groups of mice challenged with rabies, but these had no significant effect on their survival.

متن کاملEfficacy of Purified Vero Cell Rabies Vaccine (PVRV) under the Zagreb Regimen in Iran
Background: Despite the effective pre- and post-exposure treatments, at least 60,000 deaths from rabies occur worldwide every year. Post-exposure treatment is considered as one of the most significant measures for preventing human deaths in exposed individuals. The 2-1-1 rabies post-exposure treatment schedule known as Zagreb regimen is an abbreviated immunization plan in which a tissue cultu...

Abstract Background: Human rabies is preventable by prompt post-exposure prophylaxis. The total number of rabies vaccine doses administered during post-exposure prophylaxis is 5 given on days 0, 3, 7, 14 and 30. The aim of this study was to measure the durability of rabies neutralizing antibody in exposed persons treated 14–17 years ago and to investigate the effect of 2 boosters of rabies v...

Background: During the one-year period from May 2008 to May 2009, a nationwide shortage developed which rabies vaccine was not being produced by the manufacturers. In order to manage existing supply, a protocol was established wherein an authorization was required from the regional poison center before vaccine could be administered to a patient. Methods: The Georgia Poison Center internal datab...
متن کاملEngineering, Expression in Transgenic Plants and Characterisation of E559, a Rabies Virus-Neutralising Monoclonal Antibody
Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) currently comprises administration of rabies vaccine together with rabies immunoglobulin (RIG) of either equine or human origin. In the developing world, RIG preparations are expensive, often in short supply, and of variable efficacy. Therefore, we are seeking to develop a monoclonal antibody cocktail to replace RIG. Here, we describe the cloning, engineer...
