A laboratory technician performs an antibody titer. A reaction is detected in every dilution from 1:2 up to and including 1:64. What does this tell the technician about the amount of antibody present? Answers: A-D A The antibody is able to detectably bind all the antigen present in a sample when the concentration of antibody is at a 1:64 dilution. B There is enough antibody in the serum to react visibly with antigen when diluted 64-fold, but not at 128-fold or more. C The amount of antibody in the original sample can be calculated by multiplying 64 by the total number of tubes used in the dilution. D All of the above: O O
