2. 1. Production of polyclonal antibodies in rabbits and chickens immunised with human immunoglobulin G : A study of the utility of egg yolk antibody production as a substitute for rabbit serum antibody production

   Author : Lise Svendsen Bollen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Laboratory animals; antibody production; egg yolk; adjuvants; antibody response; avidity; Försöksdjursvetenskap; Laboratory animal science; Försöksdjursvetenskap; zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi; Animal Development;

   Abstract : The utility of chicken egg yolk antibodies as an alternative to rabbit antisera was studied by comparing antibody and avidity development in immunised animals (15 rabbits and 30 chickens) during a one-year immunisation scheme. Human IgG was used as the model antigen and the efficacy of three adjuvants, Freund's Complete Adjuvant, Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant and Hunter's TiterMax, was compared. READ MORE

4. 2. Avian IgY antibody : In vitro and in vivo

   Author : David Carlander; Lennart Hammarström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Antigen production; chicken; cystic fibrosis; egg; ELISA; IgY; immunotherapy; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; yolk; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major antibody found in eggs from chicken (Gallus domesticus). IgY can be used as an alternative to mammalian antibodies normally used in research, and its use in immunotherapy has recently been proposed. READ MORE

5. 3. Passive immunisation as therapy for gastrointestinal infections in children

   Author : Thomas Casswall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Passive immunisation; treatment; bovine antibodies; chicken antibodies; rotavirus; Escherichia coli; ETEC; EPEC; Helicobacter pylori; clinical trials; infants; children;

   Abstract : Several prophylactic studies in animals and humans have shown potential efficacy of oral therapy with non-human antibodies against different pathogens. Passive immunisation with oral antibodies against different pathogens is an attractive way to treat different gastrointestinal infections caused by pathogens such as rotavirus or enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (EPEC; ETEC).

6. 4. Non-invasive Antibody Production in the Chicken

   Author : Susan L Mayo; Hans-Erik Carlsson; Jann Hau; Torgny Stigbrand; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Laboratory animal science; Försöksdjursvetenskap; försöksdjursvetenskap comparative medicine; försöksdjursvetenskap comparative medicine;

   Abstract : The production of antibodies for analytical purposes using invasive procedures on small mammals is common practice in biomedical research. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient method for non-invasive antibody production in the chicken. READ MORE

7. 5. Passive immunotherpay and probiotic agents in enteric infections in children

   Author : Shafiqul Sarker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Diarrhoeal disease remains one of the leading causes of global childhood morbidity and mortality. Rotavirus and pathogenic Escherichia coli are the most common causes of acute diarrheal illness in children. READ MORE
