Microneutralization test for rabies virus based on an enzyme immunoassay

J Clin Microbiol. 1987 Dec;25(12):2440-2. doi: 10.1128/jcm.25.12.2440-2442.1987.

Abstract

We have developed an enzyme immunoassay for rabies virus by using acetone-fixed infected cell cultures as the antigen. This test was used to demonstrate virus-neutralizing antibodies in human and animal sera and was as sensitive as and easier to perform than the rapid fluorescent-focus inhibition technique.
