[Antigenic relations of the rabies group viruses studied in the blast transformation and immunofluorescence tests].

The blast transformation test with lymphocytes of mice sensitized with commercial rabies vaccine, and the direct and indirect immunofluorescence tests with hyperimmune serum to human acute encephalomyelitis virus and rabies immunoglobulins demonstrated antigenic relationships of rabies, Lagos Bat, Mokola, human acute encephalomyelitis and rabieslike virus isolated from rodents in Central Europe. At the same time, the time of appearance and the degree of intensity of specific blast transformation reaction as well as its duration indicate some differences in the antigenic structure of the Lissaviruses under study.
