Biophysical and biochemical characterization of a VHH-based IgG-like bi- and trispecific antibody platform

mAbs, 2020
Here, we report the characterization of a VHH-derived IgG-like bi- and trispecific antibody platform that essentially relies on the replacement of the VH and VL regions of a conventional antibody by two independently functioning VHH domains. Consequently,

Research progress and applications of nanobody in human infectious diseases

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Infectious diseases, caused by pathogenic microorganisms, are capable of affecting crises. In addition to persistent infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, the vicious outbreaks of infectious diseases such as Neocon, Ebola and SARS-CoV-2 ...

A Single Domain–Based Anti-Her2 Antibody Has Potent Antitumor Activities

Translational Oncology, 2018
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is overexpressed in approximately 20% to 30% of breast cancers and various other types of cancers, which plays a vital role in the cancer progression.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Single domain antibodies targeting pathological tau protein: Influence of four IgG subclasses on efficacy and toxicity

EBioMedicine, 2022
Summary: Background: Eleven tau immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies have entered clinical trials to treat tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease, but it is unclear which IgG subclass/subtype has the ideal efficacy and safety profile. Only two subtypes,

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Progress of Single-domain Antibodies in Molecular Imaging of Tumors

Zhongliu Fangzhi Yanjiu, 2019
A single-domain antibody (sdAb) is the variable region extracted from antibodies with only heavy chains found in camelid serum. Single-domain antibodies have the characteristics of easy expression, good solubility, great stability and weak immunogenicity.

Construction of Novel Bispecific Single-Domain Antibodies (BiSdAbs) with Potent Antiangiogenic Activities

Pharmaceutical Fronts, 2020
The development of bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) has had a profound impact on cancer immunotherapy. Single-domain antibodies (SdAbs) could offer advantages over other antibody formats for the generation of a BsAbs, such as small size (∼12–15 kDa), with ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
