Deficient Incorporation of Rabies Virus Glycoprotein into Virions Enhances Virus-Induced Immune Evasion and Viral Pathogenicity

Previous studies have shown that wild-type (wt) rabies virus (RABV) evades the host immune response by restricting expression of glycoprotein (G), which blocks activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and induces production of virus-neutralizing antibodies (VNAs).In the present study, wt RABVs not only restricted G expression but also reduced incorporat
