Few topics generate as much interest across the sheltering, veterinary and pet-owner worlds as consistently as antibody titer testing.
In an upcoming free webinar from VetFolio, Richard Ford, DVM, MS, DACVIM, DACVPM, will give attendees an overview of the state of titer testing today, including:
- What antibody does, and does NOT, mean when attempting to use serology to assess the individual patient
- Why antibody test results can lead to significantly different interpretations depending on the pathogen/antigen involved: protection (e.g., from vaccination), infection (active), or simply prior exposure
- Various indications for measuring antibody levels to assess response (or lack thereof) following vaccination
- How to interpret “positive” vs. “negative” test results
- Limitations associated with using antibody test results to assess immunity
The webinar will be available for on-demand viewing from Oct. 12-25. For more information and to access the webinar, visit VetFolio.
