Antibody response is the process by which the immune system produces antibodies, specialized proteins also called immunoglobulins, in reaction to a foreign substance or pathogen known as an antigen. When a virus, bacterium, or other antigen enters the body, immune cells recognize it and generate antibodies that bind to and help neutralize or clear it. After a first exposure, the immune system can retain a memory of the antigen, allowing a faster and stronger antibody response on later encounters, a principle that underlies how vaccines confer protection. Measuring antibody levels, or seroprevalence, is a common way to assess prior exposure or the effectiveness of vaccination. Research published by Public Health International and its associated journals examines these themes through studies of antibody and immune responses following vaccination, including work on COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and post-vaccination seroprevalence among health-authority workers, the effects of dairy consumption on vaccine immune response and immunoglobulins, immune responses induced by vaccination in calves, and the use of neutralizing antibodies from convalescent plasma.
