RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HAEMAGGLUTINATION-INHIBITING ANTIBODY TITRES AND CLINICAL PROTECTION AGAINST INFLUENZA: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF A BAYESIAN RANDOM-EFFECTS MODEL

Abstract Background Antibodies directed against haemagglutinin, measured by the haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay are essential to protective immunity against influenza infection.An HI titre of 1:40 is generally accepted to correspond to a 50% reduction in the risk of contracting influenza in a susceptible population, but limited attempts hav
