Rabies virus interaction with various cell lines is independent of the acetylcholine receptor.
Rabies virus infects most cells in vitro. The presence of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on the plasma membrane of various cell lines is not an obligate factor for rabies virus susceptibility of those cells.
