[Biological characteristics of the adapted rabies virus 3aG-V in Vero cell].
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.
