چکیده
Treatment of CVS-11 rabies adsorbing suspensions and street rabies infected mouse brains with gamma radiation resulted in inactivated reagents that are safer to distribute and use. These irradiated reagents were as sensitive and reactive as the nonirradiated control reagents.

Inactivation of rabies virus in reagents used for the fluorescent rabies antibody test.
Procedures for inactivating rabies virus in reagents used for the fluorescent rabies antibody test are described. Mouse brain adsorbing suspensions containing greater than or equal to 10(9) 50% lethal doses of virus per ml were rendered noninfectious by treatment with 0.1% beta-propiolactone or by heating at 56 degrees for greater than or equal to 30 min. Viable virus in tissue impression smear...
متن کاملEvaluation of the effects of concentration, duration and temperature of incubation with Beta-Propiolactone on inactivation of cell-derived rabies virus
Introduction: During the production process of vaccines against viral diseases, virus inactivation plays a crucial role. β-Propiolactone (BPL) is a compound that is frequently used for inactivation of viruses and production of the vaccines against viral diseases such as rabies. In this study, the effects of concentration of BPL as well as the duration and temperature of incubation with BPL on ...
متن کاملInactivation of Lassa, Marburg, and Ebola viruses by gamma irradiation.
Because of the cumbersome conditions experienced in a maximum containment laboratory, methods for inactivating highly pathogenic viruses were investigated. The infectivity of Lassa, Marburg, and Ebola viruses was inactivated without altering the immunological activity after radiation with Co60 gamma rays. At 4 degrees C, Lassa virus was the most difficult to inactivate with a rate of 5.3 X 10(-...
متن کاملNew Rabies Virus Variants for Monitoring and Manipulating Activity and Gene Expression in Defined Neural Circuits
Glycoprotein-deleted (ΔG) rabies virus is a powerful tool for studies of neural circuit structure. Here, we describe the development and demonstrate the utility of new resources that allow experiments directly investigating relationships between the structure and function of neural circuits. New methods and reagents allowed efficient production of 12 novel ΔG rabies variants from plasmid DNA. T...
متن کاملRabies diagnostic reagents prepared from a rabies N gene recombinant expressed in baculovirus.
A gene encoding the nucleoprotein (N) of rabies virus was inserted into the genome of the baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus. Recombinant gene expression was controlled by the strong polyhedrin gene promoter. Insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda) infected by a baculovirus recombinant containing the rabies virus N gene produced abundant amounts of a novel 55-kilodalton ...
