[Histonet] Rabies tissue Fixed in Formalin.

[Jan Shivers]

*SUSCEPTIBILITY TO DISINFECTANTS*: Rabies virus is inactivated by exposure
to 70% ethanol, phenol, formalin, ether, trypsin, β-propiolactone, and some
other detergents(3

(Found in the Public Health Agency of Canada article
http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/lab-bio/res/psds-ftss/rab-eng.php)

We often do IHC testing for Rabies on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded
tissues here, with no extra precautions needed.
