This retrospective study included 133 children aged between 2 and 16 years with elevated serum food-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), including 59 children clinically diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD) and 74 children clinically diagnosed with atopic disease without AD (asthma, allergic rhinitis, or both). Six common serum food-specific IgEs were detected by the Pharmacia ImmunoCAP test, incl...

the use of immunoglobulin y (igy) instead of polyclonal antibodies prepared in mammals has been reported recently. these antibodies are found to have better properties in terms of specificity and ease of large scale production. in this study, proteins from egg yolk were extracted with acid and chloroform. the result of cellulose acetate electrophoresis at ph 9 showed some extra bands which were...

A 54-year-old woman suffered an episode of dyspnea and edema affecting her eyelids, tongue, and lips a few minutes after intake of Lizipaina (bacitracin, papain, and lysozyme). She was treated with intravenous drugs and her symptoms improved within 2 hours. She had experienced 3 to 4 bouts of similar symptoms related to the ingestion of cured cheeses or raw egg. Specific serum immunoglobulin (I...

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...

introduction chicken is the only avian species in which polyclonal antibodies, like igg is transported from the hen to the egg yolk in a similar manner as the transport of mammalian igg from the mother to the fetus. immunoglobulin y in the chicken is transported to the egg and accumulates in the egg yolk in large quantities. igy is an egg yolk antibody that has been used widely for treatment an...

BACKGROUND There is completely no report about both hen egg anti-lipase immunoglobulin yolk (IgY) and its anti-obesity action. Thus, we tried to isolate and characterize a novel anti-lipase immunoglobulin from hen egg yolk. Moreover, we investigated whether hen egg yolk anti-lipase IgY inhibits pancreatic lipase activity in vitro, and examined its ability to prevent obesity in a murine high fat...

BACKGROUND In any calf rearing system it is desirable to obtain healthy animals, and reduce morbidity, mortality, and economic losses. Bovine syndesmochorial placentation prevents the direct transfer of bovine immunoglobulins to the fetus, and calves are born hypogammaglobulinemic. These calves therefore require colostrum immediately after birth. Colostrum is rich in immunoglobulins (Ig) and it...

AIM This study was undertaken to compare the immunoglobulin Y (IgY) level and its efficacy in laying hens of four different breeds of poultry (viz., Vanraja, Gramapriya, BlackRock, and KalingaBrown) and its relative transfer in egg yolk and chick. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted in 48 apparently healthy laying hens vaccinated with Salmonella inactivated polyvalent vaccine, eggs...

abstract  introduction: this experiment was conducted to study the effects of different levels of flaxseed (0, 5, 10 and 15% of diet) and copper (in the form of cupric sulfate pentahydrate, 0 and 250 ppm of diet) on fatty acids and cholesterol in egg yolk of laying hens. methods: a total of 128 white leghorn layers aged 50 weeks were used in a factorial design and randomly assigned to 8 treatme...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of egg yolk and cooling on ram coated spermatozoa. semen was collected from three ram by artificial vagina contacted with a tube containing tris- fructose-egg yolk 15%. samples were pooled, centrifuged by 700 g for 10 min and removed supernatant. then, samples were diluted by tris-glucose and centrifuged again to remove seminal plasma and egg yolk...
