Camelid immunoglobulins and nanobody technology [PDF]
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2009 It is well established that all camelids have unique antibodies circulating in their blood. Unlike antibodies from other species, these special antibodies are devoid of light chains and are composed of a heavy-chain homodimer. These so-called heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs) are expressed after a V-D-J rearrangement and require dedicated constant gamma ...

Novel Therapy Based on Camelid Nanobodies [PDF]
Therapeutic Delivery, 2013 Nanobodies (Nbs) are small antibody fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies through recombinant gene technology. Their exceptional physicochemical properties, possibility of humanization and unique antigen recognition properties make them excellent candidates for targeted delivery of biologically active components.
