PLoS ONE, 2020 Management of camelids in the coastal valleys of the Andes has generated much debate in recent years. Zooarchaeological and isotopic studies have demonstrated that in the coastal valleys of northern and southern Peru there were locally maintained camelid

Camels, along with llamas and alpacas, have a special type of antibody called "camelid antibodies" or "heavy-chain antibodies." These antibodies are smaller and simpler compared to the usual antibodies found in humans and most other animals. Unlike typical antibodies that have two heavy chains and two light chains, camelid antibodies are made up of ...

Advances in Camelid Theriogenology [PDF]
Reproductive physiology of South American camelids is unique, especially in comparison to other domestic animals. For example, mating occurs in a recumbent position over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Males are dribble ejaculators, and the camelid

Optimization of antibody binding by adjusting thermodynamic stability during the maturation of antibody affinities. [PDF]
Protein SciAbstract Somatic mutations and antibody clone selection occur in B‐cell hyper‐evolution over extremely brief periods of time. Herein, we developed a technique for antibody screening by immunizing alpacas with antigens and observing antibody sequence transitions over time, a method we named Tracking the Evolution of Antibodies over time.

A Collection of Single-Domain Antibodies that Crowd Ricin Toxin’s Active Site
Antibodies, 2018 In this report, we used hydrogen exchange-mass spectrometry (HX-MS) to identify the epitopes recognized by 21 single-domain camelid antibodies (VHHs) directed against the ribosome-inactivating subunit (RTA) of ricin toxin, a biothreat agent of concern to

A comparative study on the equine and camelid antivenoms upon cardiovascular changes induced with Hemiscorpius lepturus venom in rats [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2019 Objective(s): In this study, the neutralizing abilities of the equine and the recently introduced camelid antivenoms on the hemodynamic parameters (inotropism, chronotropism, and arrhythmogenicity) were assessed following envenomation by Hemiscorpius ...

STATE-OF-THE-ART PRODUCTION OF EMBRYOS IN VITRO IN SOUTH AMERICAN CAMELIDS [PDF]
SPERMOVA, 2015 The first research on in vitro fertilization in camelids have been made using gametes of slaughtered animals recovered. This job has been of invaluable help to try to standardize protocols in vitro maturation and fertilization.
