A mean dose of 38.4 (± 28.6) IU/kg/exposure day (ED) was administered for indications of prophylaxis, immune tolerance induction, bleeding, and surgical procedures. Inhibitors were detected in five patients (9.8%), with three (5.9%) presenting with clinically relevant titers of inhibitors. ...
Diphtheria and Pertussistiter tests. These tests look for antibodies from prior vaccinations which typically indicate immunity. Most people in the United States are vaccinated against tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis when they are children. Titer testing is often a requirement for work, school or tr...
Titers increase very quickly, and a fourfold increase in titer can be observed within the first 5 days of clinical signs.

A detailed serological workup of these cases was studied for recognition and resolution of the blood group discrepancy. Total number of donors during the study period were 104,010 (30,120; 31,117; 32,173 and 10,600 respectively). Blood group discrepancies were found in 51 cases (0.04%). ...
One patient had elevated ACE, seven had positive ANA titers, and three had positive CMIA. Zero patients were diagnosed with sarcoidosis, one patient was diagnosed with lupus-related optic neuropathy, and one patient was diagnosed with syphilitic optic neuropathy. The diagnostic yield of ACE was 0...

Fibrinogen and (FSP) titers were identical in surviving and nonsurviving patients. A similar response occurred in burned rats, but was preceded in the first hours after injury by evidence of intravascular coagulation. We conclude that elevated FSP titers in the burned patient are not a reflection...
Titers, however, are only part of the antibody-antigen equation. Antigen expression or density may play a role in development and severity of PLS with recipient cells that are homozygous for a given red cell antigen being better stimulators of a donor response and being more susceptible to hemo...
The results of automated reading were compared with visual reading of the gelcards taken out from the machine.Results: The sensitivity, tested by the titers of some complete and incomplete antibodies, was at least the same for automated as for visual reading. Samples with weak antigens were ...
has titers <64 and is seen in the serum of many healthy individuals. As expected autoanti-I reacts more strongly with adult cells then cord cells. On occasion, autoanti-I can be pathologic. Specifically, autoanti-I has been associated with coldhemagglutinindisease (CHAD) and pneumonia due ...
