Titers can lead to a reduction in unnecessary vaccination in some cases, if an individual has a titer that can be identified as representative of immunity. However, titers can also lead to an increase in unnecessary vaccinations if animals with negative titers are routinely vaccinated...
When titers are above a certain threshold, it demonstrates that the immune system has had prior exposure to either a vaccine or pathogen. An antibody titer test can be used in several different situations: Assessing past disease exposure: The presence of antibodies can reflect previous exposure to...
Most of those vaccine designs involved E1, E2, or NS3 proteins of HCV but have failed to induce sterilizing immunity8 or provide high titers of neutralizing antibodies. Several groups have outlined the importance of E2 protein out of all those HCV proteins in the development of vaccines against...

7)Pool Sampling RNA, because an acute infection, prior to sero-conversion, is usually accompanied by high viral titers (10E5-10E7), it is possible to identify viral NA with sufficient sensitivity in pools of >100 samples per test. This assay has been optimized to detect 1-5 copies/ml of...
MultiTEP-based vaccines induced high titers of anti-Aβ and anti-tau antibodies in T5x mice. Concentration of antibodies binding to Aβ42 (a), tau2–18 peptide (b), and full-length recombinant tau protein (c) was detected in sera of male and female mice by ELISA. Lines represent the...
There were less recipients of 25U doses of the affected lots, who had high hepatitis A antibody titers (100 mIU/mL), compared to recipients of unaffected lots.doi:10.4161/hv.2.6.3492J?ger, GundulaKuter, BarbaraCampe, HartmutLakkis, Hassin...
identifying convalescent plasma donors with abundant titers and studying how the immune system responds to the virus. “The titers that we measure in ELISA seem to correlate with neutralizing antibodies,” Krammer said. “So basically the idea is the higher these titers, the better you are ...
The authors stated that this study had several drawbacks. First, this was a cross-sectional study; thus, it could not explain the cause-effect association of ACL, aβ2GPI and anti-prothrombin with liver diseases. Second, multiple measurements of the antibodies were lacking. Third, titers of ...
In addition to the potential of detecting more viral coinfections, the multiplex assays, although not FDA cleared for this population, may prove useful in the evaluation of immunosuppressed patients and in older patients in whom viral titers may typically be lower.69 CNS Viral Infections Viral CNS...
