The role of brain neurotransmitter transport processes in rabies virus infection of neurons was examined. The uptake and release of gamma-amino-n-butyric acid (GABA) in rabies virus-infected embryonic rat cortical neurons was assayed using tritiated ligands. A 45% reduction of [3H]GABA uptake was observed 3 days post-infection, when a maximum level of infectious particle release occurs. At this time, kinetic analysis revealed significant changes in Vmax, whereas no changes were found in Km values in comparison with the control values. K+ and veratridine-induced [3H]GABA release was increased in infected cultures (98% and 35%, respectively) as compared with control values. The results obtained from rabies virus-infected cultures provide some preliminary evidence of the involvement of GABA in the pathogenesis of rabies.
