This first edited Volume on Ig Y-Technology, addresses the historical and dynamic development of Ig Y-applications. The authors cover the biological basis and theoretical context, methodological guidance, and applications of Ig Y-Technology. A focus is laid on the use of Ig Y-antibodies for prophylactic/therapeutic purposes in human and veterinary medicine.
Aside from applications, the chapters also offer an evolutionary understanding of the Ig Y molecule, Ig Y receptors and practical prerequisites to produce Ig Y-antibodies. Guidance is given for every step of the process. Starting with an introduction to hens as a model species and including hen husbandry, hen egg-laying capacity and total Ig Y outcomes. Readers will also learn about immunization techniques, the advantages and limitations of different Ig Y extraction methods, as well as storage stability of the final product.
The last part of the volume highlights hands-on aspects of applications, such as Ig Y delivery strategies, new methods to produce monoclonal Ig Y-antibodies or production of functional Ig Y fragments by phage-display as well as commercial exploitation of the technology. Thus, this book is a valuable resource and guide for Scientists, Clinicians and Health Product Developers in both human and veterinary medicine.

Rüdiger Schade started his scientific career at the Institute of Pharmacology, Charité – Universitätsmedizin in Berlin, Germany, in 1976. Since the early 1990’s, his research has been strongly focused on the development, production and application of Ig Y antibodies. His contributions significantly influenced the field of Ig Y-technology and promoted the application of this technology worldwide, particularly in Latin-America. In acknowledgement of his research efforts, he received the FISEA prize – the International Foundation for the Substitution of Animal Experimentation, Luxemburg – in 1997.
