Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Antibody titration is a method used to identify the amount of antibodies produced with respect to epitope reorganization. It is done by serial dilution method. ELISA is the best example in serial dilution of antibody titer. It is a semi-quantitative method.

What would be the next logical step to aid in antibody identification? a. Run the panel again using ficin treated cells b. Run the panel again using 22% albumin for enhancement c. Pay special attention to the strength of the agglutination reactions d. Run the panel again but increase the 37 degree incubation time to one hourarrow_forward
