A panel of 23 monoclonal antibodies to the nucleocapsid protein of rabies virus was used to study the antigenic character of isolates of rabies virus from raccoons in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Comparison of the reaction pattern of these isolates with that of isolates of rabies virus collected from areas of major rabies outbreaks (skunk rabies in the midwestern United States, fox rabies in the northeastern United States, and raccoon rabies in the southeastern United States) suggests that this new epizootic originated with the transportation of rabid raccoons from the southeastern United States.
使用一组针对狂犬病病毒核衣壳蛋白的23种单克隆抗体，研究来自美国大西洋中部地区浣熊的狂犬病病毒分离株的抗原特性。将这些分离株的反应模式与从主要狂犬病爆发地区（美国中西部的臭鼬狂犬病、美国东北部的狐狸狂犬病和美国东南部的浣熊狂犬病）收集的狂犬病病毒分离株的反应模式进行比较，结果表明，这种新的动物疫病流行起源于美国东南部狂犬病浣熊的迁移。
