Potential antimicrobial proteins for human health - value added products from the eggshell

以优质食品和新型生物制品战略资助计划(功能食品和中性食品)为目标的“来自蛋壳废料的潜在抗菌蛋白-人类健康增值产品”项目的目标是建立在我们最近的研究基础上，该研究已经确定了一种与鸡蛋相关的抗菌蛋白。我们将与安大略省一家鸡蛋生产商/破蛋商(Burnbrae Farm Ltd)和加拿大该行业的一家主要工业企业Inovatech鸡蛋制品公司密切合作，从工业破蛋器废料中提纯抗菌蛋白，并研究其抗菌特性、作用机制和保护小鼠免受口腔病原体挑战的能力。将确定提纯材料中可能存在的过敏元素，以期消除它。此外，与Shaver家禽养殖场(ISA North America)合作，将确定具有潜在潜力的单核苷酸多态(SNP)，用于种鸡的基因选择，以生产具有增强抗菌保护的鸡蛋。

The objective of the project "Potential antimicrobial proteins for human health - Value added products from eggshell waste", which is targeted to the Quality Foods and Novel Bioproducts strategic grant program (Functional Foods and Neutraceuticals) is to build upon our recent research which has identified an antimicrobial protein associated with the egg. Working closely with an Ontario egg producer / breaker operation (Burnbrae Farms Ltd) and a major Canadian industrial concern in this sector, Inovatech Egg Products Inc, we will purify antimicrobial proteins from industrial eggshell breaker waste material and study their antimicrobial properties, mechanism of action and ability to protect mice against oral pathogen challenge. Potential for allergic elements in the purified material will be identified with a view to its elimination. Furthermore, in collaboration with Shaver Poultry Breeding Farms (ISA North America), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP's) will be identified that have potential for gene selection of breeding hens to produce eggs with enhanced antimicrobial protection.
