Order Immunity Detection & Titer TestingImmunity Detection & Titer Testing measures the concentration of specific antibodies in the blood to determine whether a person has protective immunity against certain infectious diseases. Titers are often used to confirm immunity following vaccination or past infection, and they can also identify individuals who may lack sufficient antibodies and could benefit from revaccination.
About Immunity Detection & Titer Testing in Castro Valley
Antibody titers quantify the body's immune response to a particular pathogen or vaccine.
A titer test works by diluting a blood sample and measuring the highest dilution at which antibodies can still be detected. The result is reported as a ratio, such as 1:40 or 1:80, with higher numbers indicating a stronger antibody response.
Different diseases require different threshold titers to be considered protective. Common examples include measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, hepatitis B, and tetanus. A result below the protective threshold does not necessarily mean a person is unprotected, but it may prompt a discussion about revaccination.
Titer testing is frequently used for healthcare workers, students entering professional programs, travelers, and individuals with uncertain vaccination histories. It provides objective evidence of immunity and can help avoid unnecessary booster doses when immunity is already present.
