Overview
Antibody response is the production of antigen-specific immunoglobulins by the adaptive immune system following exposure to a pathogen or vaccine, and it is a cornerstone of preventive immunology. On first encounter, naive B cells recognizing an antigen proliferate and differentiate into antibody-secreting plasma cells, generating a primary response; affinity maturation, immunoglobulin class switching, and the formation of memory B cells then enable a more rapid and robust secondary response upon re-exposure. The strength and persistence of this response, commonly measured as antibody titres and seroprevalence, provide correlates of protection that guide vaccine evaluation and public-health strategy, while host factors such as age, nutrition, and prior immunity influence outcomes. Research relevant to this area includes the effect of dairy consumption on vaccine immune response and immunoglobulins, immune responses to mycobacterial vaccination in calves, neutralizing-antibody responses in convalescent plasma against SARS-CoV-2, post-vaccination vaccine efficacy and seroprevalence, COVID-19 vaccine development, and immunoassay methods including the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay used to quantify responses. Together these illustrate how antibody responses inform prevention and surveillance. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on vaccine- and infection-induced antibody responses, seroprevalence, and the measurement of humoral immunity in preventive medicine.
