Blood turns antibody-positive after exposure

In immunology, seroconversion is the transition in which a person's blood changes from lacking a detectable specific antibody to carrying it, following infection or vaccination as the adaptive response matures. Murphy and Weaver's Janeway's immunobiology describes this detectable rise of antigen-specific antibody as the serological marker of an immune response having taken hold. The referent is the measurable crossing from seronegative to seropositive status, used to date exposure and to judge whether a vaccine has produced a response.[1]

Unit
The point at which specific antibody first rises above the assay's detection threshold
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Detected by serial serologic testing showing a change from negative to positive, or a defined rise in antibody titre
