Nanobody Engineering: Toward Next Generation Immunotherapies and Immunoimaging of Cancer

Antibodies, 2019
In the last decade, cancer immunotherapies have produced impressive therapeutic results. However, the potency of immunotherapy is tightly linked to immune cell infiltration within the tumor and varies from patient to patient.

Ricin Detection Using Phage Displayed Single Domain Antibodies [PDF]

Sensors, 2009
Phage-displayed single domain antibodies (sdAb) were compared to monomeric solubly expressed sdAb and llama polyclonal antibodies for the detection of ricin. SdAb are comprised of the variable domain derived from camelid heavy chain only antibodies (HcAb).

Single domain antibodies as a powerful tool for high quality surface plasmon resonance studies.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Single domain antibodies are recombinantly expressed functional antibodies devoid of light chains. These binding elements are derived from heavy chain antibodies found in camelids and offer several distinctive properties for applications in biotechnology

Single-domain antibody based thermally stable electrochemical immunosensor [PDF]

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2016
Conventional monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are sensitive to changes in environmental factors such as temperature, pH, humidity, etc. This limits the current cost-effective and portable electrochemical immunosensors in harsh environments. Using Ricin Chain-A, a naturally occurring toxin, as a model analyte we report fabrication of a thermally ...

Nanobody-as versatile tool emerging in autoimmune diseases

Smart Materials in Medicine
Nanobody (Nb) is derived from the variable domain of heavy-chain antibody (HCAb), naturally displaying notable properties like nano-scale size, exceptional stability, high specificity, low immunogenicity, and cryptic epitope accessibility. These features

Production of a mono-biotinylated EGFR nanobody in the E. coli periplasm using the pET22b vector

BMC Research Notes, 2018
Objective Our aim was to produce a mono-biotinylated single domain antibody (‘nanobody’) specific for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is overexpressed in many cancer cells.

Preparation and characterization of a single-domain antibody specific for the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus spike protein

AMB Express, 2019
Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a diarrheal disease of swine caused by porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). It is characterized by acute watery diarrhea, dehydration and vomiting in swine of all ages and is especially fatal for neonatal and ...

Evaluation of disulfide bond position to enhance the thermal stability of a highly stable single domain antibody.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Single domain antibodies are the small recombinant variable domains derived from camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies. They are renowned for their stability, in large part due to their ability to refold following thermal or chemical denaturation.

Nanobody-enhanced chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy: overcoming barriers in solid tumors with VHH and VNAR-based constructs

Biomarker Research
CAR-T cells are genetically modified T lymphocytes that express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) on their surfaces. These receptors enable T lymphocytes to recognize specific antigens on target cells, triggering a response that leads to targeted ...
