Learn about the duration IgG antibodies remain detectable post-infection or vaccination, impacting immunity understanding.

0 views

IgG antibodies can be detectable for months to years after an infection or vaccination. The exact duration can vary depending on the individual and the nature of the infection or vaccine. Monitoring IgG levels over time can provide valuable insights into long-term immunity.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What factors affect how long IgG antibodies are detectable? The duration IgG antibodies remain detectable can vary based on individual immune response and the type of infection or vaccine received.
  2. How are IgG antibodies measured over time? IgG antibodies can be measured through blood tests, allowing for monitoring of long-term immunity after an infection or vaccination.
  3. Do all vaccines create the same IgG response? No, different vaccines can stimulate varying levels of IgG antibodies, influencing how long they remain detectable.
