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.

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 ...

Plant-derived single domain COVID-19 antibodies
Data show a decrease in the risk of hospitalization and death from COVID-19. To date, global vaccinations for SARS-CoV-2 protections are underway, but additional treatments are urgently needed to prevent and cure infection among naïve and even vaccinated people.

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).

sdAb-DB: The Single Domain Antibody Database [PDF]
The Single Domain Antibody Database, or sdAb-DB, ( www.sdab-db.ca ) is the first freely available repository for single domain antibodies and related classes of proteins. Due to their small size, modular structure, and ease of expression, single domain antibodies (sdAb) have a wide range of applications, including as a rational design tool, and are ...
