| Application: | A phosphorylated glycoprotein which is useful as a marker (~45 kDa) for protein electrophoresis. Has been used to produce an animal model of asthma. |
| Application: | Albumin from chicken egg white has been used: • as a component in reaction buffer for in vitro enzymatic assay • to simulate dangerous protein toxins • as a component in marker solution |
| Application: | The product is useful as a marker (∼45 kDa) for protein electrophoresis. It has been used to produce an animal model of asthma. Ovalbumin was used as medium for cell incubation in EliCell assay for the detection of released cytokines from eosinophil. It was also used in a study testing intestinal macromolecule absorption in fetal pig after infusion of colostrum in utero. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Differential scanning calorimetry indicates that chicken egg albumin denatures at 84 °C. Ovalbumin can be used as a carrier protein to conjugate to synthetic peptides for use as an immunogen. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Ovalbumin is preferred as a nutrient supplement. It can serve as a drug carrier. It possess tumor necrosis releasing factors, that can play a great role in tumor suppression. |
