Table 3.

Sensitivity and specificity of salivary IgG for detection of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Antigen Isotype Threshold (AU/mL) Sensitivity at < 2 weeks Sensitivity at 2–4 weeks Sensitivity at 4–8 weeks Specificity
SARS-CoV-2 Spike IgG 0.963 40.7% (22.4–61.2%) 95.8% (78.9–99.9%) 92.6% (75.7–99.1%) 92.4% (87.4–95.9%)
SARS-CoV-2 N IgG 3.18 48.1% (28.7–68.1%) 79.2% (57.8–92.9%) 92.6% (75.7–99.1%) 90.7% (85.3–94.6%)
SARS-CoV-2 S1 RBD IgG 0.244 66.7% (46.0–83.5%) 91.7% (73.0–99.0%) 92.6% (75.7–99.1%) 64.5% (56.9–71.7%)

Point estimates and 95% confidence intervals (indicated in parentheses) were computed at pre-established thresholds.
