Generation and evaluation of anti-mouse IgG IgY as secondary antibody

Abstract

In order to evaluate the possibility of using IgY as the secondary antibody in immunoassay, specific IgY (1: 128,000) was generated by immunizing hens with mouse serum IgG purified by protein A column. IgY was extracted from egg yolk by polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000), and further purified using protein M affinity chromatography column. The purified IgY was conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and fluorescein?isothiocyanate (FITC), in that order. The reactivity of conjugated antibodies was evaluated by ELISA, Western blot and Immunofluorescence, demonstrating that the obtained IgY was able to conjugate with enzymes, react with mouse primary IgG antibody, and subsequently amplify the antigen-antibody signals in different immune reaction conditions, in a comparable secondary effect to conventional goat anti-mouse IgG antibody. The obtained conjugated antibodies showed high stability in broad pH ranges (4–10; >70%) and high thermostability at 37?°C for 84?h (>85%). Despite the need to further consider and evaluate the industrial standardization and production process, our data provided the primary evidence that conjugated IgY antibodies can be used as a secondary antibody for broad immunological analysis.

Generation and application of chicken egg-yolk antibodies

Despite the fact that the use of chicken as immunization host brings many advantages to the production of polyclonal antibodies, the generation of egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) is rarely chosen. In this review, we report on the fast and efficient method for generation and affinity purification of IgY, in this case raised against the alpha-subunit of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1). The IgY antibody was successfully applied in a variety of methods and a number of different species for HIF-1alpha detection. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, the IgY antibody recognized the native HIF-1 complex. The IgY antibody also detected HIF-1alpha protein on Western blots with extracts derived from human, monkey, pig, dog and mouse cell lines grown under hypoxic conditions. Immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation experiments using the IgY antibody allowed detection and subcellular localization of HIF-1alpha in the nuclei of hypoxic cells. Chicken antibody production brings great benefit concerning the welfare of the immunized animals, due to non-invasive antibody harvesting with the added convenience of simple egg collection. An additional advantage is the fast and simple IgY isolation from egg yolk. IgY technology is a great improvement and should be considered as a good alternative to conventional polyclonal antibody production in mammals.     

Preparation of Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) Against Lipopolysaccharide using Gel Chromatography from the Yolks of Eggs Laid by Immunized Hens

The objective is to prevent and treat injuries caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from gram negative bacteria in animals and humans, we produced antibodies against LPS from egg yolk. LPS from E. coli (O111:B4) mixed with Freund’s Adjuvant was used as the immunogen to immunize Roman hens. Immunized eggs were collected, and immunoglobulin Y (IgY) was purified using a water solution, salt precipitation and gel chromatography. The molecular weight and purity were determined by SDS–PAGE, the antibody titer by noncompetitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and antibody activity against LPS by the mortality of mice intraperitoneally injected with LPS or LPS-IgY solutions. IgY against LPS showed two protein bands at 68 and 26 kDa on the gel; the antibody titer was almost 1:25,600. After incubation with LPS, IgY decreased the mortality of mice challenged with LPS. This study provided an efficient way to produce high-titer egg yolk antibodies, which could attenuate lethal effects of LPS, by immunizing hens. Furthermore, the LPS antibody was purified well using a water solution, salting-out and gel chromatography.     

Affinity purification of immunoglobulins from chicken egg yolk using a new synthetic ligand

Due to the peculiar composition of the egg yolk and the lack of specific affinity ligands, Y immunoglobulins are normally purified using complex and time consuming procedures involving a combination of precipitation and chromatographic steps first to extract and capture and then to polish IgY. In this study, we have examined the applicability for IgY affinity purification of TG19318, a synthetic ligand for immunoglobulin, obtained from the screening of combinatorial libraries, and already characterized for its capability to purify immunoglobulins of class G, M, E and A. Soluble proteins were separated from the lipidic fraction of egg yolk by the water dilution method and loaded on to TG19318 affinity columns prepared by immobilizing the ligand on the commercially available support Emphaze™. In a single chromatographic step TG19318 affinity columns led to an efficient capture of IgY directly from crude samples, and with a purity degree higher than 90%, as determined by densitometric scanning of SDS–PAGE analysis of bound fractions, and with full recovery of antibody activity, as determined by ELISA assay. Higher recovery and purity of IgY was obtained by using loading buffers at pH close to 6.5. Column capacity, determined by applying 4× excess IgY to 1 ml bed volume column, and eluting the retained immunoglobulins, was close to 65 mg of IgY per ml of resin. Chemical and chromatographic stability of TG19318/Emphaze was tested before and after various treatments. The derivatized matrix was found to be very stable, in terms of ligand leakage and maintenance of IgY binding capacity, under conditions of normal column usage, cleaning and storage.

Preparation and characterization of immunoglobulin yolk against the venom of Naja naja atra

Chinese Cobra (Naja naja atra) bite is one of the leading causes of snake-bite mortality in China. The traditional anti-cobra venom serum therapy was found to be expensive and with high frequency of side effects. Therefore attempts were made to generate a high titer immunoglobulin from egg yolk (IgY) of crude cobra-venom immunized Leghorn hens, and to standardize an effective method for producing avian antivenom in relatively pure form. The IgY was isolated first by water dilution method to remove the lipid, then extracted by ammonium sulfate precipitation, and purified through anion exchange chromatogram. The different purities of IgY from different isolating stages were submitted to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and SDS-PAGE to determine their titers. Immunoblotting showed that the purified IgY (ion exchange chromatography fraction, IECF) recognized several antigenic fractions of cobra venom, and presented with the character of polyclonal antibody. IECF on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions migrated as a 65 kDa heavy chain and a 35 kDa light chain, respectively. The LD50 of the N. naja atra venom was 0.62 mg/kg body weight in mice. Four times the LD50 dose of venom was selected as challenge dose, and the ED50 of IgY was 3.04 mg IECF/mg venom. The results indicate that the activity of anti-snake venom IgY could be obviously elevated by ion exchange chromatography, thus possessing therapeutic significance for snakebite envenomation.

Purification of antibody Fab and F(ab')2 fragments using Gradiflow technology

The Gradiflow, a preparative electrophoresis instrument designed to separate molecules on the basis of their size and charge, was used to purify antibody Fab and F(ab')2 fragments. The method described is charge based, utilizing the difference in the pI between the antibody Fab/F(ab')2 fragments and antibody Fc fragments that occur after enzyme digestion of whole antibody molecules. This method of purification was successful across a range of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. In particular, F(ab')2 fragments were purified from a number of mouse monoclonal antibodies (both IgG1 and IgG2a isotypes) and Fab fragments were purified from egg yolk IgY polyclonal antibodies. This is a rapid purification method which has advantages over alternative methods that usually comprise ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. This method may be applicable to most antibody digest preparations.

Progress on research of chicken IgY antibody-FcRY receptor combination and transfer

The transfer of maternal immunoglobulins (Igs) plays a significant role in fetal initial humoral immunity, of which process has changed and diversified during the evolution of vertebrates. IgY is a key molecular in antibody evolution which links ancient Igs and mammalian Igs such as IgG and IgE. IgY’s transfer to the embryo is a two-step receptor-mediated process, including the transfer from the maternal bloodstream to the yolk sac, and from the yolk sac to the embryo. IgY’s neonatal Fc receptor (FcRY) mainly functions in the second process. This article reviews IgY’s status in antibody evolution and IgY’s structure and application. Furthermore, this review compares the binding and transferring mechanism between mammalian IgG, and IgG’s neonatal Fc receptor and chicken IgY–FcRY. Details of IgY–FcRY combination, such as combining conditions required, IgY–FcRY binding stoichiometry and exact binding sites on both FcRY and IgY are discussed. Likewise, the endocytosis, the main mechanism of IgY–FcRY transfer and recycling mechanism are analyzed. Related knowledge might be important for better understanding antibody and receptor evolution, antibody–receptor interaction and antibody function. Furthermore, such kind of knowledge might be useful for antibody drug research and development.

Avian IgY antibodies and their recombinant equivalents in research, diagnostics and therapy

The generation and use of avian antibodies is of increasing interest in a wide variety of applications within the life sciences. Due to their phylogenetic distance, mechanisms of immune diversification and the way in which they deposit IgY immunoglobulin in the egg yolk, chickens provide a number of advantages compared to mammals as hosts for immunization. These advantages include: the one-step purification of antibodies from egg yolk in large amounts facilitates having a virtually continuous supply; the epitope spectrum of avian antibodies potentially grants access to novel specificities; the broad absence of cross-reactivity with mammalian epitopes avoids assay interference and improves the performance of immunological techniques. The polyclonal nature of IgY antibodies has limited their use since avian hybridoma techniques are not well established. Recombinant IgY, however, can be generated from mammalian monoclonal antibodies which makes it possible to further exploit the advantageous properties of the IgY scaffold. Moreover, cloning and selecting the immune repertoire from avian organisms is highly efficient, yielding antigen-specific antibody fragments. The recombinant approach is well suited to circumvent any limitations of polyclonal antibodies. This review presents comprehensive information on the generation, purification, modification and applications of polyclonal and monoclonal IgY antibodies.     

A novel and efficient immunoglobulin Y extraction method using poloxamer-polyethylene glycol

Although many IgY extraction methods (such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitation method, octanoic acid method, water dilution method, etc.) have been established, there is still industrial drive and real need in developing scale-up IgY production methods. Some previous studies have reported that poloxamer degreasing method shows very good result in IgY extraction from egg yolk with high degreasing speed, harmlessness, simpleness in operation and minimal effect on antibody titer. In this study, we developed a new method, poloxamer-PEG method, to obtain functional IgY with high purity and yield. First, the delipidation solution was added into the diluted yolk samples, and then the filtrates were collected from the diluted yolk samples after 3?hr in room temperature. PEG-6000 was added into the collected filtrates and the mixture was centrifuged after shaking on the roller mixer for 45?min at room temperature. Last, the precipitates were resuspended in 1?mL phosphate buffered solution (PBS) buffer and dialyzed overnight. The results showed that the total protein concentrate of extractive could reach at 30?mg/mL and the purity of the IgY could reach at 92.71% with the novel method, which was superior to the PEG precipitation method and water dilution method.
