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. This type of testing is commonly used to confirm immunity following vaccination or prior infection, and it can also identify individuals who may benefit from revaccination.
About Immunity Detection & Titer Testing in Columbia
Titer testing provides a quantitative or semi-quantitative assessment of antibody levels rather than a simple positive or negative result.
A titer is a laboratory measurement that reflects the highest dilution of a blood sample at which antibodies are still detectable. Higher titers generally indicate a greater concentration of circulating antibodies, though the exact threshold that defines protective immunity varies by disease and by the specific assay used.
Common targets for titer testing include measles, mumps, rubella, varicella-zoster, hepatitis B, and tetanus. Each of these requires a different laboratory method, and results are interpreted against reference ranges established for that particular pathogen and test platform.
Titer results are typically reported alongside a reference range or interpretive comment. A result below the protective threshold may suggest susceptibility, while a result at or above the threshold generally indicates immunity. Because antibody levels can decline over time, a low titer does not always mean a person lacks immune memory, and clinical correlation is important.
