If you had a baseline level before Herceptin and had it repeated after 10-21 days of Herceptin treatment a decrease of 25% or so was found in a large study of three or four different hospitals to indicate efficacy of Herceptin.
The paper, which I think I posted or referred to before had Dr. Slamon as one of the authors and the Charite Hospital in Berlin as one of the hospitals.

There is a lot of info on the Bayer test for serum her2 neu on this site.

Hope this helps!
