title: [Therapeutic activity of the combined use of an interferon inducer and vaccine in experimental rabies].
abstract: Experiments in mice inoculated intramuscularly with a large dose of virulent street rabies virus demonstrated effectiveness of combined treatment with an interferon inducer (double-strand RNA) and vaccine. The treatment was started 24 hours after inoculation. The degree of protection of the animals treated by the combined method depended on the site of ds-RNA inoculation: intracerebral inoculation produced 58% protection (P less than 0.001), intravenous 35% (P less than 0,01), and intramuscular 21% (P less than 0.05). Vaccine alone was ineffective. Interferon inducer alone produced no significant protection which was due to the large infective dose of the virus.
