Abstrakt: Procedures for inactivating rabies virus in reagents used for the fluorescent rabies antibody test are described. Mouse brain adsorbing suspensions containing greater than or equal to 10(9) 50% lethal doses of virus per ml were rendered noninfectious by treatment with 0.1% beta-propiolactone or by heating at 56 degrees for greater than or equal to 30 min. Viable virus in tissue impression smears was inactivated by acetone fixation at 50 degrees C for greater than or equal to 30 min or by immersion in 0.1% beta-propiolactone at 37 degrees C for 2 h. Inactivated reagents gave specific and sensitive reactions in the fluorescent rabies antibody test.
