Kris, as always thanks so much for always thinking of us and keeping us informed. It's truly appreciated!

Help me work this out in my head. I'm a little surprised at how heavily Dr. Dodds relies on titers when titers aren't wholly accurate. In other words, a dog can show humoral immunity, but not have cellular immunity; in the reverse, a dog can have cellular immunity but not show humoral immunity. Titers don't / can't provide a truly accurate and reliable picture of immunity.

So, does Dr. Dodd's use them, despite this, because it's really the only available tool we currently have that at least gives us *some* idea as to what's going on, even though it may not be totally accurate?
