About Tetanus & Diphtheria IgG Immunity Test | Titer Testing in Pacifica
Antibody titers provide a measurable snapshot of immune protection against tetanus and diphtheria.
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani, a bacterium found in soil and dust that produces a neurotoxin. Diphtheria is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which can affect the throat, nose, and sometimes the skin. Both conditions are preventable through vaccination, and antibody testing helps determine whether protective levels are present.
The test detects IgG antibodies specific to the toxins produced by these bacteria. IgG is the most abundant antibody class in blood and typically reflects long-term immunity from either vaccination or natural infection. Results are usually reported as concentrations, with reference ranges indicating whether antibody levels are sufficient to confer protection.
This type of testing is commonly used to assess immunity status in situations where vaccination history is uncertain, to guide booster decisions, or to evaluate immune response in individuals with certain medical conditions. It does not diagnose active tetanus or diphtheria infections.
