Saliva could be an alternative fluid to test COVID-19 antibodies
Studies suggest the presence of antibodies against COVID-19 in both blood and saliva, indicating that Saliva can be an alternative fluid to test for COVID-19. The IgG class of antibodies is found to be present in both the saliva and blood atleast three months after onset of infection. This research could lead to development of new and simpler diagnostic testing.
