The Antibodies
What are Antibodies?
Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that function to identify and remove foreign antigens, or targets such as viruses and bacteria. They are produced by the immune system as a response to the presence of an antigen.
What are Antigens?
Antigens are large molecules, usually proteins, viruses, fungi, bacteria, toxins, chemicals and other foreign particles. When antigens are present within the system, antibodies are produced by the immune system in a response to defend the body. Any substance capable of triggering an immune response is classified as an antigen.
How Do Antibodies Work?
- With a reactive site at the tip of each branch, antibodies can become attached to antigens on the basis of their molecular shape. This is because the two tips of its “Y” are specific to each antigen, allowing different antibodies to bind to different foreign antigens. The production of antibodies can be used to explain normal recovery from infection by bacteria or viruses, immunity to subsequent infection to the same organism, and susceptibility to other micro-organisms.
- Antibodies circulate in the bloodstream and can appear anywhere throughout the body. If circulating antibodies come in contact with the target, or antigen, they were generated to fight, then the antibodies bind to the target. Depending on the antigen, the binding may impede the biological process causing the disease or may recruit macrophages to destroy the foreign substance.
Why Ostrich Antibodies?
- Kyoto Prefectural University’s Professor Yasuhiro Tsukamoto has researched antibody production in all types of animals for over a decade. With his data, he has confirmed that the Ostrich Antibody is the most effective and viable option for the mass production of antibodies.
- The ostrich lays the largest egg in the world and also boasts one of the strongest immune systems in the animal kingdom. The antibodies produced via an unfertilized ostrich egg are more resistant to heat and alkaline and acidic levels. With each egg, Professor Tsukamoto is able to extract up to 400x more antibodies than that of a rabbit and are highly consistent in quality between each egg – making ostrich antibodies a viable ingredient and technology to be utilized for mass market products.
The Potential of Ostrich Antibodies
Ostrich antibody technology allows a large volume of highly effective and consistent antibodies to be produced at significantly lower cost. Conventional antibodies struggle with inefficiencies in production, sensitivity to heat, and an imbalance in acid and alkaline levels. Because of these advantages and attributes, it is the ostrich antibodies that provide the best solution for antibody goods for mass-market production. These antibodies can be used in large-scale, affordable and accessible applications that would benefit consumers throughout the world.
The effectiveness of ostrich antibody technology and the wide applications of its use can provide visible results in the lives of people all around us, and we wish to quickly share our unique technology with the world. To achieve this, we believe in partnering with like-minded individuals and organizations that can spread the benefits of ostrich antibody technology as a preventative medicine tool.
