The use of specific antibodies produced in mammals against antigenic targets and cell markers are essential tools for the study of host-parasite relationships. Unfortunately, these antibodies may be painstaking to obtain, and depend on animal bleeding in order to retrieve the desired immunoglobulins [18] . Chickens present antibody production kinetics and avidity maturation similar to mammals, and IgY antibodies appear in serum approximately 4 to 7 days after inoculation of antigen [9] .
