Since rabies is so good at avoiding the immune system, how come the vaccine is so effective?
As far as I'm aware, part of why rabies is so dangerous is because one it gets into the neurones, it hides in them by not causing much damage and can hijack immune privilege, killing t cells that try to stop it. With this said, how come vaccines, even post infection work? Surely if t cells can't get close and antibodies don't get inside cells how do they stop the rabies virus?
