Hen Egg Lysozyme Antibody (A00004.01): sc-81005

Hen Egg Lysozyme Antibody (A00004.01) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Hen Egg Lysozyme in avian species through western blotting (WB). Hen Egg Lysozyme, also known as lysozyme C (chicken-type), is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family and plays a crucial role in the immune defense of avian species. Anti-Hen Egg Lysozyme antibody (A00004.01) targets a protein primarily located in the egg white, where Hen Egg Lysozyme serves as a natural antibacterial agent, cleaving the glycosidic bonds in the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, thereby contributing to the protection of the developing embryo from bacterial infections. Beyond bacteriolytic activity, Hen Egg Lysozyme is also involved in various biological processes, including the modulation of immune responses and the enhancement of phagocytic activity in immune cells. Hen Egg Lysozyme′s presence in food products and pharmaceuticals highlights its importance not only in avian biology but also in human health, as Hen Egg Lysozyme is utilized for its preservative qualities and potential therapeutic benefits. Anti-Hen Egg Lysozyme antibody (A00004.01) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying avian immunology and the functional roles of lysozymes in various biological contexts.
