Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) from egg yolk: From molecular structures to medical applications
Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, 2001 IgG that is produced by mammalian species can be replaced by obtained immunoglobulin Y from egg yolk. The egg yolk of immunized chickens is a rich and inexpensive source of specific polyclonal antibodies.

Effects of immunoglobulin Y (IgY) serum against plaque bacteria [PDF]
African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2016 Dental caries is an infectious disease caused by plaque bacteria, especially Streptoccus mutans. Many studies were conducted to develop methods or material for dental caries prevention. It was using passive immunization that will produce specific antibodies. Yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) is antibody in the serum and egg yolk.

Investigation of Two Precipitation Methods for Extracting Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) from Egg Yolks
Veterinary Science Research, 2021 Two groups of hens (control and immunization group) were arranged in an experimental design with an immunization schedule of 3 injections of BSA antigen. IgY antibodies were extracted from egg yolks by two precipitation processes (chloroform and polyethylene glycol precipitates) and quantified using a standard curve of protein concentration.
