Order Immunity Detection & Titer TestingImmunity detection and titer testing measures the concentration of specific antibodies in the blood to determine whether a person has protective immunity against a particular infectious disease. Rather than simply reporting a positive or negative result, a titer test quantifies antibody levels, which can indicate whether prior vaccination or past infection has produced a measurable immune response.
About Immunity Detection & Titer Testing in Cupertino
Titer testing offers a quantitative look at humoral immunity by measuring antibody concentrations in a blood sample.
The test works by adding a known quantity of antigen to a diluted sample of blood serum. If antibodies against that antigen are present, they bind to it, and the highest dilution at which binding is still detectable is reported as the titer. A higher titer generally reflects a greater concentration of circulating antibodies.
Titer testing is commonly used to confirm immunity following vaccination, to assess whether a previous infection produced lasting antibodies, and to establish immune status before certain exposures or procedures. It is also used in some occupational and educational settings where documentation of immunity is required.
Results are typically reported as a numeric value with a reference range, and interpretation depends on the specific disease and the laboratory's threshold for protective immunity. A result below the protective threshold does not necessarily mean a person is unprotected, since other components of the immune system, such as memory B cells and T cells, may still respond to future exposure.
