What is The Production and Evaluation of an Antiserum for the Detection of Human Saliva about?
An antiserum raised in rabbits against human whole saliva cross-reacted with human serum and semen. Afinity chromatography of the antiserum on columns of immobilised human serum and seminal protein absorbed out these cross-reacting antibodies leaving a major antibody which reacted with a-amylase in saliva and pancreatic juice. The absorbed antiserum was evaluated as a reagent for the specifc detection of human saliva in stains of forensic interest; in a blind trial con~isting of 87 samples, 3 2 positives, 1 false negative and no false positives were obtained. The antiserum appears to be highly specifc for human saliva and does not cross-react with that of eight species of popular domestic animals.
