The rabies-specific antibodies of 73 serum samples from vaccinated humans were determined by the modified counter immunoelectrophoresis (MCIE), and the haemagglutination inhibition test (HAI) by using the conventional serum neutralization test (SN) as a yard-stick. Both MCIE and HAI were found to be sensitive and specific for the estimation of rabies antibodies. In general, the unitages obtained by the MCIE and SN showed statistically insignificant differences (P greater than 0.05) and the correlation coefficient between the two methods was 0.697 (P less than 0.05). Although the unitage of the sera detected by HAI tests was lower by a factor of 0.155 from the unitage of SN tests, there was statistically insignificant differences between the two techniques (P greater than 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.556 (P less than 0.05).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50).

D011819 Rabies Vaccines Vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent and treat RABIES. The inactivated virus vaccine is used for preexposure immunization to persons at high risk of exposure, and in conjunction with rabies immunoglobulin, for postexposure prophylaxis.

D006385 Hemagglutination Inhibition Tests Serologic tests in which a known quantity of antigen is added to the serum prior to the addition of a red cell suspension. Reaction result is expressed as the smallest amount of antigen which causes complete inhibition of hemagglutination.
