Title: Quantitation of Whole Egg Allergens by ELISA-based Methods
My suggestion: Quantitation of chicken whole Egg proteins by Antibody-based or
Immunochemical Methods
Because under analytical techniques, there are different techniques like ELISA or other
binding based technologies. Guessing that, other binding based technologies are also
utilizing antibodies like ELISA. Regulation requires labeling of egg based on the
presence of egg proteins in food. ELISA against whole chicken egg detects both
allergenic and non-allergenic proteins from egg.
