Amalgamation of Nanotechnology with Chicken IgY to Enrich Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications: A Systematic Review

Aim: The article explores the possibility of using nanoparticles and IgY technology together for biosensing and antibody delivery to fight mammalian infections. The use of IgG in passive immunotherapy has drawbacks; however, nanoparticles and IgY technology offer new opportunities for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Methods: The primary selection of reports was based on the title and abstract, and potential studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria such as nanoparticle/nanomaterials and IgY, studies that have employed nanoparticles–IgY for diagnostic and therapeutic applications and animal experiments. Results: Nanoparticle–IgY conjugates have great potential in diagnostics and therapeutics, but translation of nanotechnology-based IgY technology from laboratory settings to clinical setup is still a challenge. As science advances, nanoimmunotherapy can be explored in modern-day medicine.
