ДИНАМИКА АДАПТАЦИИ ВИРУСА БЕШЕНСТВА ВАКЦИННОГО ШТАММА «RV-97» К МОНОСЛОЙНОЙ КУЛЬТУРЕ КЛЕТОК ВНК-21/13

Abstract

The problem of rabies as one of the most dangerous zoonoses continues to be relevant almost all over the world. In development of a live vaccine, an important stage is to obtain an active component - a virus that retains the given phenotypic properties, pathogen cultivation system plays the main role. The aim of this work was to adapt the rabies virus of “RV-97” strain to the finite cell line of the Syrian hamster kidney (VNK -21/13) of the Swedish subline, as well as to carry out a comparative analysis of virus accumulation at different passages. The number of passages that need to be carried out for adaptation of RV-97 strain to the monolayer culture of VNK -21/13 cells was determined. We used a 2-day culture of VNK -21/13 cells in the phase of logarithmic growth (80-90% formation of a cell monolayer). VNK -21/13 cell culture grown as a monolayer in the wells of flat-bottomed plastic plates was used as a test system for infectious activity. A fluorescent label was used to indicate infected cells. It was determined that the smallest number of passages at which the rabies virus of “RV-97” strain is adapted to the finite cell culture of VNK -21/13 of the Swedish subline is the 6th passage level. It was found that the titer of infectious activity of attenuated rabies virus of “RV-97” strain at the 6th passage level is 7.33 ± 0.17 lg CCID50 / cm3.
