Tetanus Antitoxoid details
What Tetanus Antitoxoid shows
This test measures IgG antibodies against tetanus toxoid, the inactivated toxin used in tetanus vaccines. Because nearly everyone has been vaccinated, it is used to check whether you have responded to vaccination, and sometimes, before and after a booster, to see how well your immune system makes antibodies in general. A higher level generally suggests a protective antibody response. A lower level may reflect time since your last vaccine, a missed vaccine, or reduced antibody production. Results are interpreted with your vaccination history, and assessing immune function usually looks at responses to several vaccines rather than tetanus alone.
