title: [Biological characteristics of the adapted rabies virus 3aG-V in Vero cell].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the biological features of the adapted rabies virus 3aG-V in Vero cell.
  
  
  METHODS
  The virus structure, culture condition, pathogenicity, immunocompetence, toxicity and protective efficiency were studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rabies virus 3aG-V strain could well adapt to Vero cell, the pathogenicity was very weak and the immunogenicity was very good.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Vero cell-adapted rabies virus strain may possibly be used as a vaccine strain.
