Tetanus Antibody sta tusin Nigerian Mothers and their Infants.
Abstract
Summary: An indirccthacmagglutination method using glutaraldehyde treated sleep red blood cells (SRBC) was adapted for the assay of tetanus antibody levels in the sera of 35 Nigerian mothers and their respective infants before and after a tetanus immunization schedule. Sixty per cent of the children's tetanus antibody levels before imın nization were closely related to the initial antitoxin level in their respective mothers. Highly six per cent of the infants showcd progressive increase in antitoxin level alter successive immunizations. Children who initially had very low antibody titres eventually had high titres.
