Abstract Techniques for the isolation of field strains of rabies virus in cell culture are now well developed and are widely used for the diagnosis of rabies. In many laboratories, the rabies tissue-culture infection test (RTCIT) has replaced the mouse inoculation test (MIT). The RTCIT is relatively easy to perform, is much less expensive than the MIT and, most important, can substantially reduce the time required for obtaining results.
