Relevance
Chicken IgY is specific to chickens and is the counterpart to
IgG from mammals. Chickens transfer high quantities of IgY
into the egg yolk and harvesting antibodies from eggs
eliminates the need for the invasive bleeding procedure. One
week’s eggs can contain 10 times more antibodies than the
volume of rabbit blood obtained from one weekly bleeding. Due
to the phylogenetic distance
between birds and mammals, there is greater potential of
producing a higher percentage of specific antibody against
mammalian antigens when using chickens [1]. Since chicken
IgY does not cross-react with mammalian IgG [2] and does not
bind bacterial or mammalian Fc receptors [3], non-specific
binding is reduced, and the need for cross-species
immunoabsorptions is also eliminated [4].

1.4B11, determined by immunoblot analysis. Blot contains Na-alginate precipitated
yolk IgY (predicted band size [heavy chain IgY] 70 kDa). Incubated with antibody
fraction (culture supernatant) 10X diluted in PBS containing 0,05% tween-20 and 5%
non fat dry milk.
