Abstract: We found that chicken egg extract could promote cell survival and proliferation. In this study, we further separated the components of chicken egg extract to find the main ingredient promoting cell proliferation. The chicken ovalbumin extract was separated into more than 3 kDa and less than 3 kDa components by ultrafiltration, and then their effect on cell proliferation activity were determined. Less than 3 kDa ingredients in chicken ovalbumin extract can promote 293T cell proliferation. We can separate less than 3 kDa fraction in the chicken ovalbumin as an active ingredient to promote 293T cell proliferation.
