Product Overview
BioVenic mouse monoclonal antibody is specific for chicken IgY.
Specifications
Target Information
Chicken IgY, or immunoglobulin Y, is the primary antibody found in the egg yolk of chickens. It is functionally analogous to mammalian IgG and plays a significant role in the avian immune system. IgY is produced in response to various antigens, including bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and provides long-term immunity to the host. This immunoglobulin is of considerable interest due to its potential applications in medical and biotechnological fields. The presence of IgY in egg yolks offers a practical and abundant source for the extraction of these antibodies, which can be used for passive immunization, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
