Eficacia experimental de anticuerpos IgY producidos en huevos, contra el veneno de la serpiente peruana Bothrops atrox

Abstract: Objetivos. Desarrollar un protocolo de inmunización para producir inmunoglobulinas Igy de origen aviar contra el veneno de la serpiente peruana Bothrops atrox y evaluar la capacidad neutralizante. Materiales y métodos. Se inmunizaron seis gallinas de postura de la raza hy line brown con 500 µg/dosis de veneno de B. atrox en un periodo de dos meses. Cada semana, los huevos fueron colectados para el aislamiento de inmunoglobulinas Igy a partir de la yema, usando dos pasos consecutivos con ácido caprílico y sulfa… Show more

“…Mendonza et al also produced IgY capable of neutralizing the venom of the peruvian snake Bothrops atox. The anti-venom IgY showed considerable cross reaction with the venom of Bothrops brazili and could be used not only as B. atox anti-venom, but also as a tool for the research of cross reaction with venoms from different species [9].…”

“…Nonetheless, the amount of antibodies produced is correlated to the quantity of antigen applied to the hen, its immunogenicity and molecular weight [5,6]. Being a productive technique, as well as more refined from the point of view of animal welfare, IgY technology has been used for several purposes in human and veterinary health, such as in immunodiagnostics [7], immunotherapy [8], neutralization of toxins from venomous animals [9] and bacteria [10], and as functional food [11].…”

“…Contamination of undesired proteins in the IgY antivenoms can be reduced during the scaling up of the purification steps. For example, use of caprylic acid combined with ammonium sulphate is able to eliminate several contaminant proteins (Araújo et al, 2010;Mendoza et al, 2012).…”
