Abstract

The fluorescent antibody virus neutralization test (FAVN) for the detection of antibodies against rabies virus was modified by using a monoclonal anti-rabies antibodies and peroxidase anti-mouse conjugate instead of a fluorescent anti-rabies conjugate. The results were read on an automatic multi-channel spectrophotometer. A total of 182 serum samples from dogs were tested by both the original and modified FAVN methods and the results were compared. Good correlation was found between the two tests. Practically, the modified FAVN test was quicker and could be used for a larger number of samples.
