First production of human monoclonal antibodies in chicken eggs published in Nature Biotechnology
Chicken-produced antibodies demonstrate enhanced cell killing compared to conventionally produced anti-cancer antibodies Origen Therapeutics today announced the first published scientific report of fully functional, human sequence monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in chickens. The antibodies were expressed solely in the chicken oviduct and deposited into egg white in concentrations of...What comes first…the chicken, the egg, or the bad attitude?
Researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered that chickens raised for meat can choose whether or not they'll funnel the nutrients they eat towards themselves or their eggs. That phenomenon of 'reproductive attitude' is a headache for producers who must figure out how to deal with less productive hens that "partition" nutrients needed for egg production into their own bodies. "...Hospitalizations because of chicken pox down dramatically since implementation of vaccine
Since the introduction of the varicella (chicken pox) vaccine in 1995, hospitalizations and doctor visits because of chicken pox have dropped dramatically, according to a study in the August 17 issue of JAMA. Varicella vaccine is recommended for routine immunization of children aged 12 to 18 months and for older susceptible children and adults in the United States, according to background...Geoscientists follow arsenic from chicken feed to streambeds
What happened to the chicken when she crossed the road is less important that what happens to what she eats when it is used as fertilizer. Organic arsenic is fed to poultry to prevent bacterial infections and improve weight gain. A little bit of arsenic is taken up by the tissue and the majority of it is excreted in urine. Poultry litter -- the wood chips, feathers, droppings, and urine fr...UF scientists restore sight to chickens with blinding disease

In what can be a watershed in cancer research, Scottish scientists along with US Biotech Company Viragen Inc., have used nuclear transfer technology to harvest life saving drugs to treat many serious diseases including cancer. The same team had earlier cornered world wide fame and glory (and a lot of criticism!) for creating Dolly – the world’s first cloned mammal: Using the same nuclear transfe...Chickens Found To Have High Levels of Arsenic
People in the United States have steadily increased their consumption of chicken from 32 pounds a year per person // in 1966 to 81 pounds per person in 2000. A new study shows young chickens have significant higher levels of arsenic than other poultry or meat. Arsenic is an approved animal feed supplement that farmers use to control intestinal parasites in chickens. Researchers from...The Effectiveness Of Chickenpox Vaccine Questioned
Latest research shows the chickenpox vaccine loses some of its effectiveness in the first year after vaccination.// Parents are encouraged to vaccinate their children against chickenpox between 12 months and 18 months. Consequently, researchers were prompted to further investigate the vaccine after chickenpox outbreaks were reported among vaccinated individuals. Researchers studied near...Vaccine To Stop the Spread of Chickenpox
Chickenpox, also known as varicella, is a highly contagious disease. A new study shows kids who have been vaccinated and contract chickenpox // are half as contagious as those who are not vaccinated. In a recent study researchers examined chickenpox transmission within households considering the chickenpox history, vaccination status of the primary case, and vaccine effectiveness in prev...Chicken-Pox vaccine not fool proof
For over five years, doctors in India have been recommending chicken pox vaccination for children, even though it does not figure in the list of mandatory //vaccinations, and no comparative study has ever been conducted. Now they may have to do a rethink, after new studies in the US have raised doubts about its effectiveness. According to the study, published last week in The Journal...Shearer Chicken Bill Bone Rongeurs
