| Description | Ovalbumins is the main protein found in egg whites. Ovalbumins have various biological activities such as antibacterial, anticancer, antihypertensive, antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. Ovalbumins are the most abundant proteins synthesized in estrogen- or progesterone- treated fallopian tubes. Ovalbumins are commonly used as markers to study hormone control of gene expression in fallopian tubes. |
| In vivo | Ovalbumins (1 mg/kg, intranasal inoculation, 6 times over 2 weeks) (Silica nanoparticles)SNP/OVA. In a female BALB/c mouse model, combined administration of SNP can cause significant airway allergic inflammation, leading to an increase in total cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils and lymphocytes[1]. |
