[Indirect immunofluorescence microtest in the determination of antirabies antibodies]

The A.A. describe an indirect fluorescent antibody microtest for the rapid detection and titration of antirabies antibodies. Slides containing rabies antigen were prepared by planting 50% infected cells onto multiwelled teflon-coated slides. Following fixation, slides were stored at -20 degrees C until used. The indirect fluorescent antibody microtest was compared to the RFFIT in titration of sera containing rabies antibodies. The test was found to be rapid, easy and reliable.
