A Serum Titer Involves ________

Question

A serum titer involves ________.
A)serially diluting a serum sample
B)determining the lowest dilution of serum that produces a visible reaction
C)determining the highest dilution of serum that produces a visible reaction
D)the Western blot method
E)None of the choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

A serum titer involves determining the highest dilution of serum that produces a visible reaction. It does involve serially diluting a serum sample, but the goal is to determine the maximum dilution at which a visible reaction can still be detected, not the lowest dilution. The Western blot method is a separate technique that is not specifically related to serum titration.
