Antigenic variants of rabies virus.
The authors studied nineteen street virus isolates from different regions of Canada using either anti-nucleocapsid and anti-glycoprotein monoclonal antibodies or cross-protection tests. This study only allowed us to recognize three groups of viruses with different nucleocapsid patterns, and no difference, as far as protection with a Pitmann-Moore vaccine is concerned, between four of these strains.
