    The contents of a chicken egg with chalaza clearly visible. In the eggs of most birds (not of the reptiles [1]), the chalazae are two spiral bands of tissue that suspend the yolk in the center of the white (the albumen). The function of the chalazae is to hold the yolk in place.

    The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), also known as the chorioallantois, is a highly vascularized membrane found in the eggs of certain amniotes like birds and reptiles.It is formed by the fusion of the mesodermal layers of two extra-embryonic membranes – the chorion and the allantois. [1]

[7] Apart from the 13 proteins identified [ 4 ] to make up the membrane, the proteins that are key to providing antimicrobial properties to the membrane are the vitelline outer membrane proteins (VMO) 1 [ 8 ] and ...
