Multiplexed Saliva-based Immunodiagnostics for Assessing Anti-flavivirus Immunity
An easy-to-use method for rapidly, accurately, and non-invasively assessing flavivirus immunity by measuring various antibody classes present in saliva. Background: Flaviviruses (including dengue virus) are the most common vector-borne human viral pathogens in the world. Nearly 40% of the world’s population are at risk of infection with dengue...
