[Histonet] RE: Rabies tissue Fixed in Formalin.

[Goins, Tresa]

Sheryl -

NBF will inactivate the rabies virus but precautions should be taken.
If a rabies case is suspected but infection can not be confirmed or ruled out due to the tissue being unsuitable for rabies testing by fresh tissue fluorescent antibody assay, the tissue is cut in for FFPE sections ONLY by personnel that are vaccinated against rabies.

Hi,
Does anyone have any knowledge and literature on whether or not 10%NBF inactivates rabies in animal tissue during fixation?
Thanks,
Sheryl.
