A member asked:
If the rabies antibody titre is >0.5 iu/ml which is considered protective, is it enough to protect any amount of rabies viral load entering the body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibody: It is an antibody that attaches to the virus should it enter the body. It alerts the immune system to deal with and process the antibody as foreign. It does not prevent it from entering the body, it merely helps the body deal with it by early recognition and an immune response to dispose of it.
