Antibody Studies

Antibody studies analyze the immune system's response to a pathogen by detecting specific antibodies produced after infection or vaccination. These studies help scientists understand how well a person or population can fight off a disease, assess immunity levels, and evaluate vaccine effectiveness. By measuring the presence and amount of antibodies in blood samples, researchers can determine if someone has been exposed, recovered, or developed protective immunity. This information guides public health decisions, tracks disease spread, and informs strategies to control infectious diseases.
