Comparative analysis of Salivette® and paraffin gum preparations for establishment of a metaproteomics analysis pipeline for stimulated human saliva.

ABSTRACT: The value of saliva as a diagnostic tool can be increased by taxonomic and functional analyses of the microbiota as recently demonstrated. In this proof-of-principle study, we compare two collection methods (Salivette® (SV) and paraffin gum (PG)) for stimulated saliva from five healthy participants and present a workflow including PG preparation which is suitable for metaproteomics.
