Russian scientists use chicken eggs to prepare an Ebola drug

MOSCOW (Reuters) – Chicken eggs contain antibodies that neutralize artificial virus particles that mimic the effects of real viruses, scientists at VICT (Russia) have found.

In a speech at the OpenBio Forum on Biotechnology, in the suburb of Novosibirsk, Western Siberia, the researcher said that Olga's immune system was characterized by its ability to collect antibodies not only in blood, as in mammals, but also in yellow. Eggs, indicating the possibility of sorting antibodies from eggs directly.
