Abstract
Summary
1. An immunological analysis of the egg white obtained from White Leghorn and Broad Breasted Bronze hens, and tested against both the homologous and heter-ologous rabbit antisera, was carried out by means of the Ouchterlony double diffusion agar plate method. 2. The turkey egg white was shown to be deficient of a protein fraction which, on the basis of the ammonium sulfate fractionation procedure, was identified as alpha globulin. With respect to other egg protein fractions, the chicken and the turkey were closely similar.
