Evaluation and deployment of isotype-specific salivary antibody assays for detecting previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adults

These data are results relating to SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing conducted on saliva using ELISA. Saliva samples were collected from individuals before SARS-CoV-2 emergence and from PCR confirmed COVID-19 cases, suspected cases and healthy donors. Samples were tested as part of assay development, optimisation and evaluation as described in the paper titled 'Evaluation and deployment of isotype-specific salivary antibody assays for detecting previous SARS-CoV-2 infection in children and adults’ by Amy C Thomas, Elizabeth Oliver, Holly E Baum, Kapil Gupta, Kathryn L Shelley, Anna E Long, Hayley E Jones, Joyce Smith, Benjamin Hitchings, Natalie di Bartolo, Kate Vasileiou, Fruzsina Rabi, Hanin Alamir, Malak Eghleilib, Ore Francis, Jennifer Oliver, Begonia Morales-Aza, Ulrike Obst, Debbie Shattock, Rachael Barr, Lucy Collingwood, Kaltun Duale, Niall Grace, Guillaume Gonnage Livera, Lindsay Bishop, Harriet Downing, Fernanda Rodrigues, Nicholas Timpson, Caroline L Relton, Ashley Toye, Derek N Woolfson, Imre Berger, Anu Goenka, Andrew D Davidson, Kathleen M Gillespie, Alistair JK Williams, Mick Bailey, Ellen Brooks-Pollock, Adam Finn, Alice Halliday & the CoMMinS Study Team.
