title: The preparation of cultured rabies virus and the production of antiserum for human use.
abstract: In this paper we describe a methodology for the preparation of the Pasteur strain of fixed rabies virus in BHK-21 clone 13 cells and also its use for the production of antisera in horses. The methodology showed here is simple, rapid, facilitates the attainment of high protective titers, and the antisera produced are of high quality.
