CELL LINE AND PROCESSES FOR REPLICATING RABIES VIRUSES AND DETECTING THEM QUANTITATIVELY

摘要

The description relates to a permanent cell line derived from a vero-M cell line. This cell line makes it possible to multiply rabies viruses with a cytopathogenic effect (CPE) and detect them sensitively by means of the CPE. Besides processes for multiplying and detecting rabies viruses by means of this cell line, the invention also relates to a process for detecting inhibitors of rabies virus multiplication, like neutralising antibodies or ligands against virus receptors, for example.
