Survival of mice inoculated with CTN-1 V and CTNCEC25. A. Mortality of suckling mice injected i.c. with the CTN-1 V and CTNCEC25 strains. Mortality of 11–13 g (B), 18–20 g (C) or 28–30 g (D) adult mice injected i.c., i.p., i.d. and i.m. with the CTN-1 V or CTNCEC25 strain. A group of ten two-day-old Kunming suckling mice or adult mice of different sizes were inoculated with the CTNCEC25 and CTN-1 V strains, respectively. The clinical disease signs and death number were observed and scored daily for 21 days. The production of anti-rabies antibodies in surviving mice was evaluated at the end of the experiment.
