title: Properties of rabies vaccine freed of neuroallergenic factor from brain tissue.
abstract: Fixed rabies virus in the form of infected sheep brain suspension was freed from approx. 80% of ballast proteins, inactivated by beta-propiolactone and lyophilized. The vaccine thus obtained was devoid of neuroallergenicity when tested on guinea pigs and was highly antigenic and immunogenic. The vaccine caused no generalized reactions in volunteers; local reactions were weak and of short duration. Antibody formation was intensive in all volunteers.
