Abstract

Modified counter immunoelectrophoresis was standardized with respect to dilution of tissue culture antigen and indicator serum, the incubation time for neutralization and the effect of an electric current. The technique was found to be sensitive enough to detect a minimum level of antibodies (0·5 IU/ml) by using a 16 mA current per slide for 2 h, indicator serum of 15 IU/ml and the use of an antigen at a concentration of 1:35. Above all, the incubation period did not affect the neutralization of the virus. The test was also applied to the detection of rabies-specific antibody levels in 73 human sera. The test was found to be simple, quick and economical for titration of rabies antibodies.
