The nucleocapsid antigen of 204 strains of street rabies virus, which originated in Europe, Africa and Asia, was analyzed by fluorescent antibody staining technique with a panel of 20 monoclonal antibodies specific for nucleocapsid of rabies and rabies-related viruses. A definite pattern of reactivity was observed with strains of the same geographic origin with the exception of strains originating from Madagascar, Thailand and Iran which were more diversified. Mice immunized with a vaccine prepared from a Pasteur PV-11 strain of virus were well protected against challenge with representative strains from Europe and Africa, and a partial protection was observed following challenge with strains from Madagascar and Thailand.
