Application
Chicken Serum has been used:
- for
pellet resuspension following centrifugation, to prepare zymosan
suspension for respiratory burst assay[1]
- as a
supplement to Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) to culture HeLa P
cells[2]
- for
blocking in immunofluorescence (IF) double-staining[3]
Chicken serum is used in parasitology to study excystation,
growth, survival and egg production of the microphallid trematode Maritrema
novaezealandensis. Chicken serum is used for the serial cultivation of chicken
keratinocytes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Animal sera serve as a cost-effective alternative to basal
cell culture media supplement. They are commonly used in immunodetection
protocols such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunocytochemistry (ICC), and
western blot to block nonspecific binding. Chicken serum is suitable for use in
parasitology to study excystation, growth, survival, and egg production of the
microphallid trematode Maritrema novaezealandensis.[4] It is
used for the serial cultivation of chicken keratinocytes.[5]
