Chicken/hen′s egg albumin, also known as ovalbumin (OVA), is the most abundant egg white protein. It is surrounded by B-cell epitopes, which are bound by specific IgE antibodies. In addition, it also contains CD4+ T cell epitopes. Ovalbumin is a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 45000 Da.
Application
Anti-Chicken Egg Albumin antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
quantitative precipitin assay
indirect enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA)
development of nonimmune rabbit antiserum against chicken ovalbumin
Biochem/physiol Actions
Chicken/hen′s egg albumin or ovalbumin (OVA) is a major allergen found in egg white and is widely used in allergy research. It has been widely used to determine the characteristics of class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide binding and T-cell activation.
Preparation Note
treated to remove lipoproteins

Tissue infiltration by circulating monocytes is a critical step in the initiation and augmentation of type 2 inflammatory responses in the lungs. Our studies demonstrate that IL-33-/- mice have a defect in monocyte extravasation from the vasculature to the lung
Professional phagocytes internalize self and non-self particles by phagocytosis to initiate innate immune responses. After internalization, the formed phagosome matures through fusion and fission events with endosomes and lysosomes to obtain a more acidic, oxidative and hydrolytic environment for the
