Multispecific Antibody Development Platform Based on Human Heavy Chain Antibodies
Heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAbs) do not associate with light chains and their VH regions are functional as single domains, forming the smallest active antibody fragment.

Bispecific and multispecific immune engagers for redirecting innate and adaptive immunity against hematologic cancers [PDF]
Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) and multispecific antibodies (MsAbs) represent a transformative class of immunotherapeutics in oncology. These engineered molecules possess the unique ability to simultaneously target two or more distinct antigens, thereby ...

Broadly Protective Antibody-Like Vaccines Against Highly Pathogenic Coronaviruses. [PDF]
ABSTRACT SARS‐CoV‐2 and MERS‐CoV are highly pathogenic and contagious coronaviruses. Despite intensive vaccination, SARS‐CoV‐2 continues to spread, and no FDA‐approved vaccines exist for MERS‐CoV; thus, more effective and safer vaccine options are needed. The receptor‐binding domain (RBD) of coronaviruses is a primary target of neutralizing antibodies (
