The avian equivalent of mammalian IgG, IgY, is isolated from the egg yolk of hyperimmune chicken eggs. Hyperimmune eggs are defined as eggs laid by chickens repeatedly immunized with the selected antigen. IgY is extracted and affinity purified through a series of carefully developed biochemical processes and ultimately analyzed to secure a high level of quality.
Chicken antibodies from NABAS are currently being used in a range of commercially available IVD products such as turbidimetric assays, lateral flow tests and ELISA kits manufactured by our customers in China, USA and Europe.
Our R&D personnel will be happy to assist in the development of specific IgY antibodies for your diagnostic product. We also have a range of standard products in stock, available as samples free of charge.
