چکیده

The development of an assay for the quantification of chicken immunoglobulin (IgY) and data evaluation is being demonstrated. An enzyme immunoassay was established to perform the quality control of IgY purifications from the egg yolk and to control IgY producing cells in vitro. Each step of the test procedure and possible alternatives were described. The assay was characterized by special test parameters (sensitivity, detectability, accuracy, precision, specificity). Moreover, this simple and fast enzyme immunoassay is a special supplement to the alternative antibody production from egg yolk.

A simple method for isolating chicken egg yolk immunoglobulin using effective delipidation solution and ammonium sulfate.

Chicken egg yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is a superior alternative to mammalian immunoglobulin. However, the practical application of IgY in research, diagnostics, and functional food is limited due to complex or time-consuming purification procedures. The objective of this study was to develop a simple, safe, large-scale separation method for IgY from egg yolk. Egg yolk was diluted with 6-fold de...
