Abstract: | Subcutaneous injection of fixed rabies virus into albino rats weighing 100–120 g is followed by a decrease in the-aminobytyric acid (GABA) concentration in the animals' brains. An increase in the activity of GABA--ketoglutarate transaminase also is observed in the brain tissue of animals vaccinated against rabies.Laboratory of Immunopathology, D. I.
