An Inside Job: Applications of Intracellular Single Domain Antibodies
Sera of camelid species contain a special kind of antibody that consists only of heavy chains. The variable antigen binding domain of these heavy chain antibodies can be expressed as a separate entity, called a single domain antibody that is ...

Single-domain antibodies and their formatting to combat viral infections [PDF]
Since their discovery in the 1990s, single-domain antibodies (VHHs), also known as NanobodiesA (R), have changed the landscape of affinity reagents. The outstanding solubility, stability, and specificity of VHHs, as well as their small size, ease of ...

Single-domain antibodies for biomedical applications [PDF]
Single-domain antibodies are the smallest antigen-binding units of antibodies, consisting either only of one variable domain or one engineered constant domain that solely facilitates target binding. This class of antibody derivatives comprises naturally occurring variable domains derived from camelids and sharks as well as engineered human variable or ...

Photobodies: Light‐Activatable Single‐Domain Antibody Fragments [PDF]
AbstractPhotocaged antibody fragments, termed photobodies, have been developed that are impaired in their antigen‐binding capacity and can be activated by irradiation with UV light (365 nm). This rational design concept builds on the selective photocaging of a single tyrosine in a nanobody (a single‐domain antibody fragment).

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.

Seed-produced anti-globulin VHH-Fc antibodies retrieve globulin precursors in the insoluble fraction and modulate the Arabidopsis thaliana seed subcellular morphology [PDF]
Key message Nanobody-heavy chain (VHH-Fc) antibody formats have the potential to immunomodulate even highly accumulating proteins and provide a valuable tool to experimentally modulate the subcellular distribution of seed storage proteins.

NANOBODIES: STRUCTURE, MANUFACTURING, APPLICATION (REVIEW)
Introduction. Single-domain antibodies (nanobodies) are composed of the heavy-chain variable domain only. Compared to conventional immunoglobulins G (IgG) nanobodies have such qualities as: high bioavailability, ability to bind epitopes that are ...

Potent single-domain antibodies that arrest respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in its prefusion state [PDF]
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children. The RSV fusion protein (F) is highly conserved and is the only viral membrane protein that is essential for infection.
