Vaccination challenge studies with variants of street rabies virus isolated in Nigeria.

In a preliminary study it was observed that adult ICR mice immunized with serial dilutions of an inactivated experimental human rabies vaccine from the Pitman-Moore (PM) vaccine virus were well protected against challenge with homologous virulent PM virus and challenge virus standard (CVS). However only one of five variant representatives in five of seven groups of 41 isolates of street rabies virus from Nigeria characterized by hybridoma monoclonal antibodies specific for the nucleocapsid and glycoprotein antigens of rabies virion was protected for by the vaccine. Guinea pigs immunized with a live attenuated low egg passage ( LEP, Flury strain) vaccine currently used in canine vaccination in Nigeria protected against challenge with all five variants. The LEP vaccine protected against the variants and CVS quite well even when 1:125 dilution of the vaccine was used.[1]
