An antibody titer needs to be performed in the immunology lab. Please review the process that was taken and answer the questions. A serial dilution was set up for the antibody titer. Eight tubes were set up with 0.75 mL of diluent in each tube. 0.25 mL of serum was added to the first tube and then mixed. 0.25 mL was then taken from the first tube and transferred to the second. This process was repeated by taking 0.25 mL from the second tube and transferring it to the third tube. This was continued through to tube eight. a. Based on 0.75 mL of diluent and 0.25 mL of serum, what is the dilution factor? b. What would be the serum serial dilution of tube seven?

For the Antibody titer lab, you will start with a 1:10 dilution: How did I make 6 mls of a 1:10 dilution? What amount of saline and what amount of antiserum did I use? In the antibody titer lab, what is the dilution factor? Define agglutination: Agglutination is the clumping of cells. What step of the agglutination process is the visible step?
