Designing Gel - Based Saliva Diagnostics for Growth Factors and Cytokines

Sudesh T Samuel

Abstract: This study explores the potential of saliva as a medium for detecting growth factors and cytokines, focusing on gel - based electrophoresis techniques like SDS - PAGE and Ouchterlony diffusion. By analyzing molecular weights ranging from 6 to 83 kDa, the research highlights the viability of saliva - based diagnostics in regenerative medicine, beyond tumor biomarker clinical applications. The findings confirm that saliva, as a non - invasive diagnostic tool, can identify and quantify biomarkers such as VEGF and TGF - ?1, offering a promising alternative to traditional blood tests.

Keywords: saliva diagnostics, growth factors, cytokines, SDS - PAGE, Ouchterlony diffusion, molecular weights, regenerative medicine, non - invasive diagnostics
