IgY Technology: Extraction of Chicken Antibodies from Egg Yolk by Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) Precipitation
Published on: May 1, 2011
Abstract:
Normal chicken serum examined by Laurell's crossed immunoelectrophoresis, using rabbit anti-chicken serum, gave a total from 38 to 40 precipitation arcs. All precipitates were characterized by staining intensity and morphology. The individual precipitates were identified by electrophoretic position, monospecific rabbit antisera against individual human serum proteins, goat anti-chicken immunoglobulins, binding properties, and specific staining methods. By these methods, it has been possible to identify 20 precipitates.

Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
