New vaccines for immunization of man: new approaches towards the prevention of rabies in man.
Cell culture rabies vaccines for human use, highly immunogenic and well tolerated, are now used for pre-exposure immunization as well as for post-exposure treatment. Presently available cell culture rabies vaccines induce immunity against the SAD modified live rabies virus used for oral immunization of foxes. They also induce immunity against the newly identified European bat rabies virus (Duvenhage).
