TL;DR: It is confirmed that serum and saliva IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 are maintained in the majority of COVID-19 patients for at least 3 months PSO, and IgG responses in saliva may serve as a surrogate measure of systemic immunity to Sars-Cov-2 based on their correlation with serum IgG responds.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This data indicates that difference in sensitivity was greatest for sample pairs collected later in illness, and COVID-19 was recommended as a first line treatment for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systemic and mucosal IgA responses are variably induced in response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination and are associated with protection against subsequent infection

TL;DR: In this article , the authors collected serum and saliva samples from participants receiving two doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and measured the level of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Ab.

Sensitivity of nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

TL;DR: Overall, sensitivity was 89% for nasopharyngeal swabs and 77% for saliva (p=NS); difference in sensitivity was greatest for sample pairs collected later in illness.

TL;DR: Assays to detect IgA and IgG antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and its receptor binding domain were correlated, suggesting that antibodies in the saliva may serve as a surrogate measure of systemic immunity.
