Abstract
#Avian eggs are the largest source of major nutrients which consists
of various types of proteins, fats, vitamins, growth factors and
minerals
that are required for the developing #embryo and also significant number
of defence factors for protecting against many viral and bacterial
infections. It also consists of various biological substances in it that
forms the basic unit of life. Chicken egg yolk contains antibodies
called
#Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) which is the major antibody present in birds,
lungfish, #amphibia and lungfish, playing a similar role like mammalian
antibody IgG. IgY antibodies are transferred from serum to egg yolk
which was first demonstrated by Klemperer in 1893 [1]. This review
mainly
focuses on the applications of #antigen-specific chicken egg yolk
antibodies (IgY) in human therapeutics to protect against various
bacterial
and viral infections and to maintain a good care for healthy
respiratory, oral and digestive system which highlights the value of
human health
importance and disease prevention and treatment effectively.
