title: Monoclonal antibodies as a tool for rabies epidemiological studies.
abstract: Hybridoma-produced monoclonal antibodies specific of antigenic determinants of the nucleocapsid and the glycoprotein of rabies virus showed differences between fixed and street strains of rabies virus. Standard panels of monoclonal antibodies allowed us to determine the geographic origin of imported cases of rabies in animals and humans.
