Postop:
At 1month: SIg’s levels decreased, but only significantly for IgM.
At 6months:
-SIgA returned to normal,SIgG increased but SIgM remained low
-Non-Ig salivary defensefactors remained normal except for lactoferrin
-No change in antiviralSIg’s except for SIgG against EBV which decreased significantly.
-No change of anti Streptococcus mutans SIg’s except for SIgG which decreased |
