Female chickens, timed for egg production, are immunized via intramuscular injection with your antigen. At day 49 of the protocol, 7 days of egg collection begins and the animals placed on rest pending your testing results.
Each set of 6 eggs will average approximately 500 milligrams antibody per animal. Additional eggs may be collected as the hens will lay approximately 1 egg per day. The antibody can be purified via several common methods, but our proprietary precipitation methodology is the most common.
We will need 1 milligram of your antigen to complete the 2 animal protocol. Immunoaffinity purification or protocol extensions may require additional antigen.
Can continue to boost/bleed indefinitely based on your needs..
Note that chickens have a finite egg production of roughly 15 - 18 months
