Antibody Titer Can Be Measured By

Question

Antibody titer can be measured by
A) negative microscopy.
B) agglutination.
C) plate counts done after isolating the pathogen.
D) polymerase chain reaction.

Accepted Answer

Antibody titer can be measured by agglutination, which involves the clumping together of bacterial cells or particles when mixed with antibodies specific for the target antigen. The degree of clumping can be used to determine the concentration of antibodies in a patient's blood serum.
