Ovomucoid is a egg white protein which has a strong allergenicity with a unique characteristic in heat-noncoagulable one contrast to heat-coagulable other major egg white proteins. By ELISA and immunoblots analysis, ovomucoid was detected in heat-coagulated egg yolk after immediate boiling of hen's egg for 15 min (boiled egg) at the concentration of 4.8 +/- 0.8 micrograms/g egg yolk, but not detected in raw egg yolk collected by insertion of a needle into the egg yolk cavity. Ovomucoid in heat-coagulated egg yolk was increased by standing the boiled eggs at room temperature for 10, 30, 60 and 120 min at the concentration of 7.5 +/- 3.4, 17.2 +/- 15.1, 28.1 +/- 5.9 and 78.8 +/- 31.3 micrograms/g egg yolk, respectively. The soluble fraction prepared from heat-coagulated egg white of boiled egg contained 37.7 +/- 3.2 mg/ml of proteins including 14.2 +/- 11.9 mg/ml of ovomucoid as a major and miners of detectable ovalbumin and ovotransfferin. These results suggested that the appearance of ovomucoid in coagulated egg yolk of boiled egg was due to passing the soluble fraction rich in ovomucoid in heat-coagulated egg white through into the coagulated egg yolk, which may have notable consequences for the present of ovomucoid as a major egg white allergen in yolk egg of boiled egg.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010059 Ovomucin A heterogeneous mixture of glycoproteins responsible for the gel structure of egg white. It has trypsin-inhibiting activity. Ovomucoid
D004058 Diffusion The tendency of a gas or solute to pass from a point of higher pressure or concentration to a point of lower pressure or concentration and to distribute itself throughout the available space. Diffusion, especially FACILITATED DIFFUSION, is a major mechanism of BIOLOGICAL TRANSPORT. Diffusions

D004529 Egg White The white of an egg, especially a chicken's egg, used in cooking. It contains albumin. (Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) Egg Whites
D004530 Egg Yolk Cytoplasm stored in an egg that contains nutritional reserves for the developing embryo. It is rich in polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins. Egg Yolks,Yolk, Egg,Yolks, Egg
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
