ABSTRACT
Understanding of kinetics of antibody responses is crucial for developing rapid serological tests and studying the mechanisms of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection. Most of the serological diagnostic assays previously published are based on either IgM or IgG titer, little is known on the level of IgA antibody in saliva and urine. In this study, we investigated the kinetics of IgM/IgG/IgA antibody responses in serum, saliva, and urine obtained from two ZIKV infected individuals from as early as the second day of onset of symptoms to as long as 2 years postinfection. Other than detecting robust early IgM response, long lasting IgG response, we discovered strong early IgA response specific for ZIKV in saliva in both patients. This unique observation provides a novel strategy and scientific basis for the development of noninvasive rapid tests for ZIKV infection.
