About Immunity Detection & Titer Testing in Waltham
Titer testing provides an objective measure of immune status by quantifying antibody levels rather than simply detecting their presence.
A titer test works by serially diluting a blood sample and adding a known quantity of antigen or pathogen. The titer is reported as the highest dilution at which antibodies are still detectable, so a higher number generally indicates a stronger or more sustained immune response.
Common targets include measles, mumps, rubella, varicella-zoster, hepatitis B, and tetanus. Results are typically interpreted against established thresholds: a value at or above the threshold suggests likely protection, while a value below it may indicate susceptibility or the need for revaccination.
Because antibody concentrations can decline over time and interpretation varies by disease and laboratory method, results should be reviewed alongside vaccination history and clinical context. A qualified healthcare professional can determine what a given titer means for an individual.
