Function
Chicken IgY mediates humoral immune responses by specifically recognizing antigens and promoting pathogen neutralization, immune clearance, and protection against infection.
Subcellular location
Secreted; present in blood plasma, extracellular fluids, and highly concentrated in egg yolk.
Structure
IgY is composed of two heavy chains and two light chains linked by disulfide bonds. Although functionally analogous to mammalian IgG, the IgY heavy chain contains four constant domains and lacks a classic mammalian hinge region.
Description
Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) is the major serum antibody of birds, reptiles, and amphibians. In chickens, IgY serves a role analogous to mammalian IgG and is the predominant antibody transferred from the hen to the egg yolk, providing passive immunity to developing offspring.

Keywords

Structure
Chicken IgY is a tetrameric antibody composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. Unlike mammalian IgG, IgY contains four constant domains and lacks a classical hinge region.
Function
IgY serves as the principal antibody of birds and mediates antigen recognition, pathogen neutralization, and humoral immune protection.
Distribution
IgY is found in chicken serum and is actively transported into egg yolk to provide maternal immunity to developing chicks.
Advantages
IgY antibodies typically do not bind mammalian Fc receptors, rheumatoid factors, or complement components, reducing background interference in many immunoassays.
Research relevance
Chicken IgY is widely used in ELISA, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, lateral flow assays, passive immunization studies, and antibody production because large quantities can be obtained non-invasively from egg yolks.
