The animals which are mainly reported as causes of rabies are; dogs, raccoons, skunks, bats, and foxes. A study was undertaken to compare the ability of Indian street rabies virus isolate and challenge virus Standard to induce apoptosis in murine neuroblastoma cell line. Thirty Indian rabies virus isolates from infected street dogs were tested by FAT used to infect Murine Neuroblastoma cell line (MNA) along with Challenge Virus Standard (CVS). Expression of Caspase-1, Bad and Glycoprotein genes in MNA cells in comparison with CVS. TUNEL staining method used to study the apoptotic index of Street rabies virus and CVS was measured by using Flow cytometer.enVeterinary SciencePreventive MedicineArticle
