Health | Like the dFA test, these procedures use specific antibodies to detect rabies virus inclusions. (references) | |
The dFA test is based on the observation that animals infected by rabies virus have rabies virus proteins (antigen) present in their tissues. (references) | ||
Rabies RNA can be copied into a DNA molecule using reverse transcriptase (RT). The DNA copy of rabies can then be amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This technique can confirm dFA results and can detect rabies virus in saliva and skin biopsy samples. (references) | ||
