The Rabies Titer Test or RFFIT is used to monitor rabies antibody levels in someone who may have an occupational risk of rabies, such as veterinarians or rabies lab workers, or someone who has been exposed to rabies and needs to be monitored to ensure that the vaccination is effective.
Titers are usually expressed as ratios such as 1:256, meaning that one part serum to 256 parts saline solution (dilutant) results in no antibodies remaining detectable in the sample. A titer of 1:8 is, therefore, an indication of lower numbers of Lyme disease antibodies than a 1:128 titer. Where a positive IFA test result is given this means that at least a 1:256 titer was achieved, a similar result is needed on an ELISA test for Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies.
