Detection of AMA-M2 in human saliva: Potentials in diagnosis and monitoring of primary biliary cholangitis

Abstract Serum anti-mitochondrial antibody type 2 (AMA-M2) is considered as a pivotal biomarker for the diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). However, serological tests have many limitations, including inconvenience, invasiveness, and infection risks. Thus, a less invasive approach to dete...
