Comparative hemagglutination (HA) inhibitory activity of lyophilized salivary gland secretions (μg/ml)

Phil82 PR-8 Sendai virus
Whole saliva supernatant 20 ± 6 12.5 ± 2.6 50 ± 16
Parotid secretions 21 ± 2 27 ± 9.5 84 ± 0
Submandibular secretions 6.1 ± 0.8 4.3 ± 0.35 25 ± 5

Results are mean ± SEM of three or more experiments and are expressed as μg/ml of the indicated salivary preparations or purified proteins required to inhibit HA activity of 40 HA units of the Phil82 or PR-8 strain of influenza A virus or Sendai virus. Whole saliva, parotid and submandibular results are mean values for six, two, and four donors, respectively.
