Popis: Rabies is a zoonotic neurological disease with 100% lethality. Some of the rare human patients who survived after multiple drug treatment have inherited severe sequelae. The objective of this study was to investigate the action of the transfection of antibodies against rabies in the central nervous system of mice as target therapy for rabies.Author summaryThe present study showed that after 48 h of RABV inoculation, mice injected by the intracerebral route with anti-RABV F(ab’)2 complexed with Bioporter® Protein Delivery Reagent (Genlantis) as a transfection agent, showing a morbidity/mortality rate of 30% with a minimum incubation period of seven days, while in the control group a significantly higher (p
