- Abstract
By producing the rabies vaccine from cell culture, this vaccination has become safe, with minimal postvaccinal reactions. The first vaccine according to this technology was produced by Pavle (Paul) Fenje, former chief of department of the Pasteur Institute in Novi Sad. Many cell cultures have been introduced so far for the rabies virus multiplication: primary hamster kidney, fetal bovine kidney, chick embryo, continuous cell line monkey kidney (VERO), human diploid cell (HDC), etc. Some possibilities of an economical rabies vaccine production from a continuous BHK-21 cell line have been discussed and recommended.
