Telling states apart1

  • Concurrent immune demands create apparent failures by changing measurement proportions

    Where this hypothesis actsAssays comparing concurrent and isolated immune challenges

    What is proposedDistinguish absolute protective output from denominator-dependent response proportions

    With whatInstrument or assay

    HowUse counting beads, fixed-volume sampling, recovery standards and paired raw-versus-normalized analysis, preserving activity per original sample volume

    Possible resultPossible removal of inferred deadline violations despite unchanged absolute protection and time to protection
