Transportation of Single-Domain Antibodies through the Blood–Brain Barrier
Single-domain antibodies derive from the heavy-chain-only antibodies of Camelidae (camel, dromedary, llama, alpaca, vicuñas, and guananos; i.e., nanobodies) and cartilaginous fishes (i.e., VNARs).

Single domain antibodies: promising experimental and therapeutic tools in infection and immunity [PDF]
Antibodies are important tools for experimental research and medical applications. Most antibodies are composed of two heavy and two light chains. Both chains contribute to the antigen-binding site which is usually flat or concave.

Single-domain antibodies for brain targeting [PDF]
Smaller recombinant antibody fragments as single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) are emerging as credible alternatives because of their target specificity, high affinity, and cost-effective recombinant production. sdAbs have been forged into multivalent and multispecif ic therapeutics, or targeting moieties, that are able to shuttle their linked therapeutic ...

Immunogenicity and humanization of single‐domain antibodies [PDF]
Single‐domain antibodies (sdAbs), the autonomous variable domains of camelid and shark heavy‐chain antibodies, have many desirable properties as components of biologic drugs. However, their sequences may increase the risk of immunogenicity and antidrug antibody (ADA) development in humans, and thus, sdAbs are routinely humanized during development ...

Integrating Single Domain Antibodies into Field-Deployable Rapid Assays
Single domain antibodies (sdAb) are the recombinant variable heavy domains derived from camelid heavy-chain antibodies. While they have binding affinities equivalent to conventional antibodies, sdAb are only one-tenth the size and possess numerous ...
