development of antibodies in the blood that were not there before vaccination.
After infection, the body develops antibodies to that particular infection. When antibodies can be detected in the blood, seroconversion has happened. The time between becoming infected and having detectable levels of antibodies in the blood is called the window period. For HIV, the window period is up to 3 months.
Development of detectable antibodies to HIV in the blood serum as a result of infection. It may take several months or more after HIV transmission for antibodies to the virus to develop. After antibodies to HIV appear in the blood, a person will test positive in the standard ELISA test for HIV.
Four-fold or greater increase in antibody titer between acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens tested in parallel, or negative antibody test on acute-phase serum with positive test on convalescent-phase serum tested in parallel.
The development of antibodies to a particular antigen. When people develop antibodies to HIV or an experimental HIV vaccine, they "seroconvert" from antibody-negative to antibody-positive. See also Antibodies; Antigen.
The time at which a person's antibody status changes from negative to positive.
When a person is infected by HIV, B-cell watchmen produce an antibody specific to the virus, and the person “seroconverts” from antibody-negative to antibody-positive. Ensure that the outer ring covers the opening of the vagina. The top of this ring should be approximately over the clitoris. Guide the penis in through the outer ring. Take care: It is easy to accidentally put the penis outside the condom. After sex, remove the condom by twisting the outer ring and pulling it out gently.
the production in a host of specific antibodies as a result of infection or immunization. The antibodies can be detected in the host’s blood serum following, but not preceding, infection or immunization.
The development of antibodies directed against an antigen; the change in a person's antibody status from negative to positive. Vaccine-induced seroconversion is not an infection.
the change of a serologic test result from negative to positive as a result of antibodies induced by the introduction of microorganisms into the host.
Developing of antibodies.
The change from an absence of HIV antibodies in the blood to the presence of those antibodies.
Point at which the first antibodies against a pathogen are produced (and detected).
a change in the blood test so that something related to the virus (which may be an antigen, antibody or the virus itself) appears
The development of antibodies in the blood of an individual who previously did not have detectable antibodies, following exposure to an infectious agent.
The development of an antibody in the serum in response to an antigen.
The process by which a person develops antibodies.
The term applied to the development of antibodies in a subject whose blood did not previously contain these antibodies following the introduction of an antigen into the body. Before seroconversion the subject is said to be seronegative - after seroconversion the subject is seropositive.
(noun) the production of antibodies in response to an antigen (1963).
the process in which the body building a detectable level of antibodies to an infection, this time frame can be 6 months or longer after the initial infection with some diseases, see NAT on this page
The development of antibodies to a particular antigen. When people develop antibodies to HIV, they "seroconvert" from antibody-negative to antibody-positive.4 Seroconversion usually occurs shortly after the acute retroviral syndrome. During this phase of HIV infection, individuals are highly infectious.
the development of antibodies against a microorganism; the change in a person's antibody status from negative to positive.
The initial development of antibodies specific to an antigen. For HIV, seroconversion is believed to occur six to eight weeks after infection.
The change from HIV- negative to HIV-positive status during blood testing. Persons who are HIV-positive are called seroconverters.
appearance of specific antibodies in the blood, indicating recovery from infection or successful vaccination.
the change of a serological test from negative to positive, indicating the development of antibodies in response to infection or immunisation.
A change in status from antigen positive/antibody negative to antigen negative/antibody positive. For example, seroconversion of e-antigen positive to e-antibody positive indicates a significant decrease in the amount of hepatitis B virus. Seroconversion of hepatitis B surface antigen positive/surface antibody negative to surface antigen negative/surface antibody positive connotes being "cured" of a chronic HBV infection since the virus has been cleared from the liver and bloodstream.
When antibodies have been produced and detected, then sero-conversion has taken place. "Sero" is the Latin word for blood, so the term means that the blood has changed/is changing. Sero-conversion illness is that illness which can be experienced as a result of infection. Usually this takes the form of mild influenza type symptoms or a rash.
The development of antibodies; the change from an absence of HIV antibodies (seronegative) to the presence of HIV antibodies (seropositive) in the blood.
The development of antibodies to a particular antigen. When people develop antibodies to HIV or an experimental HIV vaccine, they "seroconvert" from antibody-negative to antibody-positive. Vaccine-induced seroconversion is not an infection.
The development of antibodies to a particular antigen. When people develop antibodies to HIV, they seroconvert from antibody-negative to antibody-positive. It may take from as little as one week to several months or more after infection with HIV for antibodies to the virus to develop. After antibodies to HIV appear in the blood, a person should test positive on antibody tests.
After the initial introduction of HIV infection, when HIV antibodies can be detected in the blood.
Previously HSV antibody-negative patient becomes HSV antibody-positive
the act of converting from negative to positive on a blood test.
Seroconversion is the development of detectable specific antibodies to microorganisms in the serum as a result of infection or immunization. Serology (the testing for antibodies) is used to determine antibody positivity. Prior to seroconversion, the blood tests seronegative for the antibody; after seroconversion, the blood tests seropositive for the antibody.
