A sensitive colorimetric ELISA to measure allergen-specific salivary SIgA for monitoring sublingual immunity efficiency in pollinosis SLIT [PDF]

Frontiers in Allergy
BackgroundSublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is safe and one of the most effective etiological treatment for pollinosis. Allergen-specific salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) is a useful marker to objectively evaluate treatment efficacy.
