In this first - of - its - kind trial, however, 50 kidney transplant candidates
with high antibody levels were treated with the new regimen.
In most cases, pets vaccinated adequately as puppies or kittens typically have
high antibody level protection against core viruses, and no further vaccinations are needed.
[11] Higher antibody levels to wheat germ agglutinin were measured in celiac disease patients.
In this study of 113 children, the Oxford Vaccine Group (part of the University of Oxford Department of Paediatrics) shows that
high antibody levels observed 1 month after receiving 4CMenB at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age decline over the following 2 1/2 years.
After receiving a booster dose at 40 months of age, 89 % -100 % of the children had
high antibody levels for all but 1 of the 8 Meningitis B strains tested.
FIV blood tests performed by veterinarians measure antibody levels against the virus, and at present there is no reliable way to distinguish between an animal that has
high antibody levels due to vaccination and one which has been infected by the FIV virus.
Volunteers who received a high dose of the vaccine had, on average,
higher antibody levels than people who received a lower dose.
In adults we observed a tendency toward a dose response, with the 50 µg group having
the highest antibody levels, while in children the 25 µg antibody levels were slightly higher.
Higher antibody levels are associated with a lower quality of life, even in those taking the thyroid medication levothyroxine.
Mother dogs vaccinated at approximately the time of breeding will have
the highest antibody levels to pass on to their puppies.
