- Abstract:
Rabies is a zoonotic infectious disease that targets the nervous system of human and animals and has about 100% fatality rate without treatment. Rabies virus is a bullet-like viral particle composed of five structural proteins, including nucleoprotein (N), phosphorylated protein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G), and large subunit (L) of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. These multifunctional viral proteins also play critical roles in the immune escape by inhibiting specific immune responses in the host, resulting in massive replication of the virus in the nervous system and abnormal behaviors of patients such as brain dysfunction and hydrophobia, which ultimately lead to the death of patients. Herein, the role of five structural proteins of rabies virus in the viral replication and immune escape and its implication for the development of vaccines were systemically reviewed, so as to shed light on the understanding of pathogenic mechanism of rabies virus.
