	Ovalbumin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ovalbumin is the main protein component of egg whites.
		Ovalbumin is broken down into its component amino acids by other proteins called proteases in the process of prolysis.
		However, as of late June 2001, research was being undertaken for reasons unknown to modify ovalbumin to return its inhibitory properties by replacing a missing loop within a ß-sheet.

		The modified ovalbumin was then incubated with liposomes (see section (a) for preparation of liposomes having a reactive functionality on the liposome surface (1% MPB)) at a ratio of 90.mu.g of protein per,umole lipid (15 mM final lipid concentration).
		The amount of ovalbumin coupled to the liposomes was determined using the Pierce Micro BCA assay in the presence of 1% Triton X-100 to disrupt the liposomes.
		For the latter two groups, liposomes (without surface associated ovalbumin) were administered i.v at a lipid dose of 100 mg/kg, 4 hrs prior to administration of the ovalbumin Freund's mixture.

	Gelation Properties of Albumen Proteins, Singly and in Combination
		Therefore, in combinations of lysozyme, globulins, and ovalbumin with conalbumin, denaturation was apparent at 58.3, 57.8, and 58.1 C, respectively.
		Ovalbumin coagulation temperature ranged from 71.5 to 71.0 C. Aggregation of the polypeptides proceeded with a modest drop of.5 C in temperature.
		The binary mixtures of lysozyme, globulins, ovomucoid, conalbumin, and ovalbumin had significant effects on coagulation temperature, gel strength, and percentage drainage of the coagulums (Table 2).

		However, in the airways of ovalbumin sensitised and challenged mice, the staining appeared more intense, the band of staining was thickened compared with controls and usually appeared continuous around all sizes of airway (compare figure 2D with figures 2A2B2C).
		The current protocol is based on the widely used ovalbumin sensitisation and challenge method [25,26,37,38] using two intra-peritoneal sensitising injections and six daily intra-tracheal challenges of ovalbumin.
		The increase in sub-epithelial collagen in ovalbumin sensitised/challenged mice that we found using six consecutive challenges over six days is similar to that observed in other acute [25] and more chronic (3–12 weeks) [26,28,30,33] ovalbumin challenge studies.

	Chicken Ovalbumin (Egg albumin) ELISA Kit cat #6010,
		ADI has developed a very sensitive ELISA kit for the detection and quantitation of ovalbumin in animal sera, egg extracts or other biological samples that may contain or suspected of containing ovalbumin.
		Residual quantities of egg proteins found in the influenza vaccine (i.e., about 0.02-1.0 ug per dose) are sufficient to induce severe and rarely fatal hypersensitivity reactions in children with egg allergies.
		ADI has developed an ELISA kit detecting ovalbumin using polyclonal antibodies, which is of growing importance in standardization and characterization of allergens (ovalbumin) and as a tool for the detection and quantification of egg albumin in food products.

		Ovalbumin peptide encapsulated in poly(d,l lactic-co-glycolic acid) microspheres is capable of inducing a T helper type 1 immune response.
		An ovalbumin (OVA) peptide, consisting of residues 323-339, was incorporated into poly(d,l lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres and administered to mice.
		It was hypothesized that microencapsulation of the peptide in PLGA microspheres would avoid the need for traditional adjuvants and bias the immune response towards a type 1 T helper (Th1) response.
