Result Interpretation

Less than 1:10    No detectable poliovirus antibodies.
1:10 or greater    Antibody to poliovirus detected, which may represent prior immunization or current or past infection

The serum neutralization test is serotype specific. Antibodies against one type

does not indicate immunity against the other type..
