Immunology question

Hi all ,

What is the clinical significance of increased IgA concentration levels ?

I have tried looking in the immunology books, and on the internet but cannot find anything :frown: can anyone please help me

Thanks in advance

Sorry i forgot to add, IgA concentration levels in salivary samples in this case not overall serum.
