In this study, we have successfully immunized specific pathogen-free (SPF) chickens, and then purified a high-titer anti-SARS coronavirus yolk immunoglobulin (IgY) with neutralizing activity against SARS coronavirus. The activity of IgY in sera and yolks diluted at 1:200 in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) from immunized animals was assessed using an indirect ELISA assay as described previously (Huang et al., 2005) (Fig. 1) . The development of high-titer anti-SARS coronavirus IgY described in this study would appear to have potential as a new anti-SARS biological product for passive immunization, as it effectively neutralized the SARS coronavirus. ./cache/cord-273074-k8m917i4.txt ./txt/cord-273074-k8m917i4.txt
