An alpaca nanobody neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking receptor interaction
Nature Communications, 2020 SARS-CoV-2 enters host cells through an interaction between the spike glycoprotein and the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Directly preventing this interaction presents an attractive possibility for suppressing SARS-CoV-2 replication ...

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Particularly in unshorn llamas and alpacas with a dense fiber coat, changes in body condition often remain undetected for a long time. Manual palpation of the lumbar vertebrae is hence a simple and practical method for the objective assessment of body ...

Alpaca: intermittent execution without checkpoints [PDF]
Proc. ACM Program. Lang., 2017 The emergence of energy harvesting devices creates the potential for batteryless sensing and computing devices. Such devices operate only intermittently, as energy is available, presenting a number of challenges for software developers.

Wool Carbonization with an Energy-Efficient Drying Process
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2020 The article presents methods of wool carbonization and describes the parameters of the individual stages of the technological processes. The wool parameters were also tested before and after the carbonization process. Particular attention was paid to the

A potent alpaca-derived nanobody that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 variants
bioRxiv, 2022 The spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 engages with human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to facilitate infection. Here, we describe an alpaca-derived heavy chain antibody fragment (VHH), saRBD-1, that disrupts this interaction by competitively ...

ASPECTS OF REPRODUCTION IN THE ALPACA [PDF]
Reproduction, 1968 Summary. The alpaca, Lama pacos, does not have regular oestrous cycles, but oestrus lasts for 21 to 36 days during the breeding season. Ovulation is induced by coitus. Follicular ovulation rupture occurs spontaneously 26 hr after coital stimulation and can be induced by a single injection of hcg.
