n IgG+ | Normalized IgG Level | n IgA+ | Normalized IgA Level | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Vaccinated HU (n = 15) | 5 | 1.3 (0.7–1.6) | 5 | 1.3 (1.1–2.9) |
Vaccinated HIV (n = 19) | 2 | 0.7 (0.5–0.9) | 5 | 0.3 (0.2–2.2) |
COVID HU (n = 8) | 0 | / | 5 | 1.1 (0.6–1.6) |
COVID HIV (n = 13) | 1 | 0.2 (0.2–0.2) | 9 | 1.0 (0.7–1.6) |
Medians with IQRs in brackets are presented for the spike-specific IgA and IgG levels given as ratios obtained by dividing the extinction of the sample by that of the calibrator and normalizing it to the protein concentration (µg/µL) in saliva. Only values of subjects that had saliva Ig ratios above the cut-off before normalization are shown. HU: HIV-1-uninfected. A ratio of <0.8 was considered as negative, a ratio of 0.8–1.1 as borderline and ≥1.1 as positive. No significant differences as tested by Mann-Whitney U tests.
