Abstract
Methods for preparing recombinant proteins, such as antibodies, in eggs are described. The method offers advantages over existing systems for preparing recombinant proteins including high yield, low cost and compatibility with animal protection regulations. In addition, since eggs are edible food sources the recombinant protein does not have to be isolated from the egg.
