Abstract
A new forensic saliva test method using $SALIgAE^{(R)}$ was evaluated in this study. The sensitivity and specificity of $SALIgAE^{(R)}$ were examined and compared to those of other saliva test methods such as agarose gel diffusion method and $Phadebas^{(R)}$ test sheet method. $SALIgAE^{(R)}$ showed high sensitivity and specificity to human saliva in addition to quickness. Moreover modified $SALIgAE^{(R)}$ method was cheap and easy to use in crime scene and DNA laboratory. $SALIgAE^{(R)}$ was very stable at room temperature and had no effect on STR typing.
