 en Rabies Virus Infection of Cultured Adult Mouse Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons
Jaime Castellanos; Hernan Hurtado; Janeth Arias & Alvaro Velandia

Abstract

An in vitro model of adult dorsal root ganglion neurons
infection by rabies virus is described. Viral marked
neurotropism is observed, and the percentage and the degree of
infection of the neurons is higher than in non neuronal cells,
even if neurons are the minority of the cells in the culture.
The neuritic tree is also heavily infected by the virus.

Keywords
