Thirty Indian street virus isolates were tested by FAT among which 20 samples were positive which were used to infect MNA cells. Four street rabies virus isolates and CVS were used in this study to show their ability to induce apoptosis. CVS used as control in the amplification as well as in the demonstration of apoptosis. The expression of Caspase- 1, Bad and glycoprotein genes in the MNA cells in comparision with CVS was measured by using densitometer. Street virus isolates expressed higher levels of Caspase-1 and Bad in comparison with CVS. Further TUNEL staining method showed higher apoptotic index when compared to CVS by Flow Cytometer reading. This study is revealed that Indian rabies street virus isolates can induce apoptosis in murine neuroblastoma cells.EnglishVeterinary ScienceOther
