[Determination of anti-rabies antibodies by means of the indirect immunofluorescence method].

The paper presents a description of the method of indirect immunofluorescence (IFRA test) for the demonstration of post-vaccination anti-rabies antibodies. The model of immune hamster serum was used to study the reproducibility of the test. The dynamics of antibody formation was quantitatively examined in rabbits immunized by the Flury-LEP virus. For brief information, the test was also used for the demonstration of post-vaccination antibodes against rabies in dogs. The method can be recommended as an additional and orientation test for the evaluation of the immunogenic properties of vaccines against rabies.
