AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for evaluating functional antibody response induced by immunogenic compositions are time-consuming, costly, and lack precision and consistency in determining serum bactericidal activity against Salmonella.
A method involving the preparation of media and buffer, bacterial stock, and serum bactericidal activity assay (SBA) using Luria Bertani agar plates to accurately determine antibody titre, optimized for Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi, with specific buffer compositions and bacterial growth phases to enhance accuracy and reduce time.
The method provides a cost-effective, rapid, and precise evaluation of functional antibodies, reducing assay time from 3 days to 2 days while ensuring accurate determination of serum bactericidal activity.
