Immunogenicity is typically assessed through clinical trials, using various methods to measure the immune response. Commonly used techniques include:
Serological Assays: These tests measure the levels of specific antibodies in the blood following vaccination. Cell-Mediated Immunity Assays: These tests evaluate the activity of T-cells, which play a crucial role in the immune response. Functional Assays: These assays assess the functionality of the immune response, such as the ability of antibodies to neutralize the pathogen.
