Specific Detection of Proteins by a Nanobody-Functionalized Nanopore Sensor
Nanopores are label-free single-molecule analytical tools that show great potential for stochastic sensing of proteins. Here, we described a ClyA nanopore functionalized with different nanobodies through a 5–6 nm DNA linker at its periphery. Ty1, 2Rs15d,

Evaluation of [89Zr]Zr-DFO-2Rs15d Nanobody for Imaging of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer.
One of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer involves the overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 is overexpressed in ∼25% of all breast cancers and is associated with increased proliferation, increased rates of ...

Fully synthetic platform to rapidly generate tetravalent bispecific nanobody–based immunoglobulins
Significance Nanobodies are a promising class of biologics that can be used to prevent or treat viral infections. Here, we describe the production and validation of a discovery library that produces single-domain nanobodies using an engineered human ...

A guide to: generation and design of nanobodies [PDF]
A nanobody (Nb) is a registered trademark of Ablynx, referring to the single antigen‐binding domain of heavy chain‐only antibodies (HCAbs) that are circulating in Camelidae. Nbs are produced recombinantly in micro‐organisms and employed as research tools or for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

A Multivalent and Thermostable Nanobody Neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529)
Background The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron variants have risen to dominance, which contains far more mutations in the spike protein in comparison to previously reported variants, compromising the efficacy of most ...

Nanobody cocktails potently neutralize SARS-CoV-2 D614G N501Y variant and protect mice
Significance Neutralizing antibodies are important for immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and as therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. We identified high-affinity nanobodies against SARS-CoV-

Nanobody-Targeted Photodynamic Therapy: Nanobody Production and Purification
Nanobodies have recently been introduced to the field of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a very promising strategy to target photosensitizers selectively to cancer cells. Nanobodies are known for their characteristic small size (15 kDa), high specificity, and high binding affinities.

Applications of nanobodies in brain diseases
Nanobodies are antibody fragments derived from camelids, naturally endowed with properties like low molecular weight, high affinity and low immunogenicity, which contribute to their effective use as research tools, but also as diagnostic and therapeutic agents in a wide range of diseases, including brain diseases. Also, with the success of Caplacizumab,

Exploring cellular biochemistry with nanobodies [PDF]
Reagents that bind tightly and specifically to biomolecules of interest remain essential in the exploration of biology and in their ultimate application to medicine. Besides ligands for receptors of known specificity, agents commonly used for this purpose are monoclonal antibodies derived from mice, rabbits, and other animals.
