Russian term or phrase: 60%-ной иммунной прослойки
From a report about a clinical trial of a flu vaccine:

Особый интерес представляло определить количество лиц с защитным титром антител больше 40 (так называемую иммунную прослойку) после вакцинации.

***and***

Индекс и коэффициент эффективности вакцины А с учетом серологического подтверждения диагноза "грипп" равны 12.1 и 91.8%. При наличии в коллективе 60%-ной иммунной прослойки индекс и коэффициент эффективности были соответсвенно равны 4.6 и 78.5%.

I can't find any reliable information to help translate this phrase. All help welcomed!

Thanks.

Explanation:
Энциклопедический словарь медицинских терминов:
¶иммунная ¶прослойка — количественный показатель, представляющий собой выраженную в процентах долю населения) обладающую иммунитетом к определенной инфекционной болезни.

Насколько я знаю, в английском соответствующего термина нет (или он не используется).

Пример перевода с англ. на русский:
The incidence of diphtheria is inversely related to the percentage of immune individuals in an area...
Заболеваемость дифтерией тем выше, чем меньше ¶иммунная ¶прослойка населения...

rate of natural immunity is 60% / rate of immune people in a community


Explanation:
I think this term is specific for Russian language and can not be translated in English directly

the fact that these two figures (40 and 60) total 100 is just a coincidence.

60% immune streak plate


Explanation:
The dose of infecting virus is reflected in the % lysis of target cells in the immune streak plate; when the percent goes to 60 there is a higher titer of infecting virus and the indices of the effectiveness of the vaccine are consequently lower.
