Whether you need antibodies for diagnostic applications, therapeutic research, or innovative scientific discoveries, we have the solutions you need.
Why Choose Chicken Polyclonal Antibodies?
Chicken polyclonal antibodies offer unique advantages over antibodies from other species, making them a powerful tool for research:
Unique Epitope Recognition
Chicken antibodies recognize epitopes that may be hidden or inaccessible to mammalian antibodies, providing increased sensitivity and specificity.
High Immunogenicity
Chickens produce strong immune responses even against highly conserved mammalian proteins, leading to higher avidity.
High yield
Large quantities of IgY against small quantities of antigen, producing2.5 - 3 g of IgY per month per chicken, 10-20 times the amount of one rabbit.
Minimal Cross-Reactivity
Because chickens are phylogenetically distant from mammals, the antibodies they produce are less likely to cross-react with mammalian proteins, make an excellent addition to multiple labelling or multi-plex experiments.
Quick
Compared to rabbits, you can obtain high-titre antibody from eggs as early as day 25.
Low background
IgY does not bind to IgG Fc receptors meaning you get less false positive staining. They also do not activate mammalian complement systems.
Convenient – IgY is packed neatly in eggs, which can be stored for long periods and the IgY purified to the desired titre/avidity months later.
Convenient
Eggs, which can be stored for extended periods and the IgY purified to the desired titre/avidity months later.
Cost-Effective
Chicken polyclonal antibodies provide a cost-effective solution for projects requiring large amounts of antibodies.
