IgA and Secreted Antibodies Literature

Secreted IgA in Tears of COVID-19 Patients

IgA dominates the early neutralizing antibody response to SARS-CoV-2

Early seroconversion of IgA in COVID19 patients

Dimeric IgA is important in COVID-19 and vaccine development

An analysis of antibody responses in the saliva and blood of naturally infected COVID-19 patients.

A perspective on the importance of the mucosal antibody response in COVID-19.

Comparing the systemic and mucosal antibody response in COVID-19. IgA production is shown to be an important biomarker here and can be detected in the nose and tears even when absent in serum! Worth a read.

Thorough analysis of the kinetics of antibody production in COVID-19 and its correlation to disease outcome.

An analysis of a family infected with COVID-19 comparing salivary IgA levels (among other antibodies) after and during infection. 

Interesting study demonstrating the importance of the innate immune response and nasal mucosal barriers in the protection against COVID-19.

Using 'S-Flow' to measure COVID-19 Spike protein antibody response

Profiling the antibody response to COVID-19 in the breast milk. Interesting and important work!

Using blood sampling to estimate the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 seropositivity via mail-in kits!

Deep profiling of the antibody response during COVID-19 can distinguish moderate and severe infection. Massively important work here!

A multiplex approach to analyzing the antibody respinse to SARS-CoV-2 using at home blood sampling kits.
