Comparison of multiplex-serology and ELISA based methods in detecting HPV16 L1 antibody responses in paired saliva and serum samples of healthy men.

In conclusion, our results show that anti-HPV16 antibodies can be measured from saliva and the salivary response differs from that of serum. Individual differences in total salivary antibody concentrations may affect also the amount of HPV16 specific antibodies in saliva. Furthermore, different assay methods showed different specificities; thus comparisons between studies must be done with care. PMID: 31004663 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
