  • extremely agglutinated (+++)
  • very agglutinated (++)
  • a little agglutinated (+)
  • no agglutination ( – )

2. Positive results should lead to agglutination (clumping) of antibody to antigen. Your titer is the lowest dilution that had a positive result. CIRCLE YOUR TITER BELOW.

Dilution 1:20 1:40 1:80 1:160 1:320 1:640
