About Tetanus & Diphtheria IgG Immunity Test | Titer Testing in Albuquerque
Antibody titers provide an objective measure of humoral immunity to tetanus and diphtheria.
Tetanus and diphtheria are serious diseases caused by bacterial toxins. Protective immunity is primarily achieved through vaccination, which prompts the immune system to produce specific IgG antibodies that neutralize these toxins.
The test quantifies IgG antibodies against tetanus toxoid and diphtheria toxoid in a blood sample. Results are typically reported as concentrations, often in international units per milliliter (IU/mL), and interpreted against established protective thresholds.
This titer testing does not diagnose active tetanus or diphtheria infections. Instead, it evaluates immune status and can help determine whether a booster vaccination may be needed to maintain protection.
