    Salmonellosis is a common type of food poisoning caused by the Salmonella enterica bacterium. This disease is common in Ecuador and it is propagated through poultry. A new alternative for controlling the infection in humans and animals is through passive immunity. Consequently, specific antibodies can be developed as therapeutic agents based on biodegradable nanoparticles liposomes. Specific antibodies are produced by inoculation of hens with specific antigens, followed by retrieving the antibodies accumulated in yolk. The objective of this work was to purify specific IgY antibodies against Salmonella spp from Lohmann Brown hens. A group of hens was immunized with a pool of Salmonella entérica subsp entérica serovar Enteritidis and Salmonella enterica subsp entérica serovar Infantis. These two pools of bacteria were previously inactiva.. View More»
