Abstract:
We developed a salivary assay for the detection of naturally acquired IgA antibody against Haemophilus influenzae type a (Hia) capsular polysaccharide in healthy Indigenous children from Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Hia-specific IgA antibody was detected in the saliva of 93% of Indigenous children aged 2-7 years.
