One Shot May Someday Replace Six for Rabies Sep 25, 2009
"The M gene is one of the central genes of the rabies virus, and its absence inhibits the virus from completing its life cycle. The virus in the vaccine infects cells and induces an immune response, but the virus is deficient in spreading," James McGettigan, an assistant professor of microbiology and immunology at Jefferson Medical College at the university in Philadelphia, said in the news release. The immune response triggered by the vaccine is so strong that a single injection may be... (MEDLINEplus)
