Abstract excerpt
Egg yolks of avian species contain large quantities of immunoglobulin (Ig) Ys transferred from maternal blood circulation. However, it is unclear how maternal IgYs are incorporated into the egg yolks of maturing oocytes. The aim of this study was to identify the amino acid residues required for efficient IgY transport into the egg yolks of quail by utilizing recombinant quail IgY-Fc (qIgY-Fc). Five amino acid...
