RESUMO

Pathogenic parental rabies virus and apathogenic variant virus were shown to differ in their ability to infect neurons in vivo and neuroblastoma cells in vitro. After intracerebral inoculation, the distribution of infected neurons in the brain was similar for both viruses, but the rate of spread throughout the brain, the number of infected neurons, and the degree of cellular necrosis were much lower in the case of apathogenic virus. After adsorption to mouse neuroblastoma cells, apathogenic virus was less rapidly internalized than pathogenic virus, and cell-to-cell spread of apathogenic variant virus was completely prevented by the addition of rabies virus-neutralizing antibody, whereas the spread of pathogenic virus was not affected.
