  1. Plaque forming rate (%) = PFU of saliva sample/PFU of control (phosphate-buffered saline) sample × 100. Anti-IAV activity is defined as a decrease in the plaque forming rate
  2. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
  3. IAV influenza A virus; PFU plaque-forming units; PBSA protein-bound sialic acid; MUC5B mucin 5B; MUC7 mucin 7; LYS lysozyme C; Cys-C cystatin C; Cys-S cystatin-S; Cys-SA cystatin-SA; Cys-SN cystatin-SN
