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.
