- Ref. Range Notes
Reference Values:
Polio 1 Titer: <1:8 Polio 3 Titer: <1:8 The presence of neutralizing serum antibodies (titers of 1:8 up to >1:128) against polioviruses implies lifelong immunity. Some persons without detectable titers (<1:8) may also be immune as demonstrated by elicitation of a secondary-type serum antibody response upon rechallenge with live polio vaccine.
