[An ELISA system based on the specific class Y (IgY) antibodies from egg yolks for the quantitative determination of D-antigen in inactivated poliovirus vaccines].

The results of the construction of the first Russian ELISA system for the quantitative determination of D-antigen of 1-3 poliovirus types in the preparations of inactivated poliovirus vaccines are presented. For the first time, this kind of system is based on the use of specific antibodies of class Y (IgY) from egg yolks of immunized hens. It was shown that this ELISA system is specific, sufficiently sensitive, and can be used for quantitative determination of D-antigen of 1-3 poliovirus types in inactivated poliovirus vaccines.
