The following has been cross posted (with permission) from another forum if anyone is able to assist.

Urgent Appeal for Information on Antibody Level Titre results

Dr Archie Bryden is a well respected biochemist with a special
interest in vaccines. He is conducting a survey which will, no doubt, have very far reaching effects and he is trying to gather as much information as possible. If anyone feels they could help, could they contact him with the following information please?

He would like information on as many dogs as possible that have had
antibody titres done and needs to know:-

a) age of dog when tested
b) antibody titres
c) vaccination history as full as possible ie number of boosters etc
d) breed although probably not important

He can be contacted on _marlenebryden@yahoo.co.uk_
(mailto:marlenebryden@yahoo.co.uk)

Please feel free to crosspost

Hi Harley,  Do you know what the purpose of the survey is?
- By Harley Date 18.10.06 13:17 UTC
No sorry I don't know but will endeavour to find out for you.

I will be only to pleased to help if I know the purpose of the survey.
- By Harley Date 18.10.06 17:14 UTC
I have emailed the person who asked that the survey request be posted and will let you know once I have received her reply.
- By Harley Date 18.10.06 17:40 UTC
Just received a reply and it just said that all info is available from the email address supplied - not very helpful really. :rolleyes:
- By Annie ns Date 18.10.06 17:46 UTC
Perhaps they don't know Harley.  Oh well, the first person who writes and asks can let everyone else know on here! :)  Thanks for trying to find out.

Ok I have emailed saying I will help if they tell me the purpose of it all.  Will let you know what I hear back.

Thank you - I was just about to do the same so will await your info. :)
- By Annie ns Date 18.10.06 18:18 UTC
Oh well done Bev - I was going to do it later this evening.  Will be interested to hear what you find out.
- By bevb [gb] Date 19.10.06 05:39 UTC
So far still heard nothing. :rolleyes:
- By bevb [gb] Date 19.10.06 08:53 UTC
Just had a reply.
This is what they said.  Have copied and pasted the 3 documents which makes this post very long. Whoops it has not allowed me to do it all.  If you want to see it pm me your email and I will forward it all to you.

Hi Bev
I am attaching some articles I have had in Our Dogs
which may help to see where I am coming from, in case
you have not seen them.
Basically there appears to be little in the public
domain on antibodies and length of protection
following vaccination - the drug companies seem to
keep their test results to themselves - no prizes for
guessing why!
If I can get sufficient results submitted from those
who have had their dogs tested, plus vaccination
history, I might be able to analyse and make some
sense that could influence peoples' policies.
I should explain I am  retired microbiologist with a
lot of research experience with viruses.
Regards
Archie
