Insights into the chicken IgY with emphasis on the generation and applications of chicken recombinant monoclonal antibodies
The advantages of chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) antibodies as immunodiagnostic and
immunotherapeutic biomolecules has only been recently recognized. Even so, chicken
antibodies remain less-well characterized than their mammalian counterparts. This review
aims at providing a current overview of the structure, function, development and generation
of chicken antibodies. Additionally, brief but comprehensive insights into current knowledge
pertaining to the immunogenetic framework and diversity-generation of the chicken …
