Redundancy and compensation in axon guidance: genetic analysis of the Drosophila Ptp10D/Ptp4E receptor tyrosine phosphatase subfamily [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Drosophila has six receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs), five of which are expressed primarily in neurons. Mutations in all five affect axon guidance, either alone or in combination.

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.

A Human-Derived Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Extracellular Connexin Domain Selectively Modulates Hemichannel Function [PDF]

, 2019
Connexin hemichannels, which are plasma membrane hexameric channels (connexons) composed of connexin protein protomers, have been implicated in a host of physiological processes and pathological conditions. A number of single point pathological mutations

Single‐Domain Antibodies and Their Utility

Current Protocols in Immunology, 2013
AbstractEngineered monoclonal antibody fragments have gained market attention due to their versatility and tailor‐made potential and are now considered to be an important part of future immunobiotherapeutics. Single‐domain antibodies (sdAbs), also known as nanobodies, are derived from VHHs [variable domains (V) of heavy‐chain‐only antibodies (HCAb)] of

Delicate balance among thermal stability, binding affinity, and conformational space explored by single-domain VHH antibodies

Scientific Reports, 2021
The high binding affinities and specificities of antibodies have led to their use as drugs and biosensors. Single-domain VHH antibodies exhibit high specificity and affinity but have higher stability and solubility than conventional antibodies as they ...

Genomic Organization, Splice Variants and Expression of CGMl, a CD66-related Member of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family [PDF]

, 1993
The tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) belongs to a family of proteins which are composed of one immunogiobulin variable domain and a varying number of immunoglobulin constant-like domains.

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.

Enhancing neutralizing activity against influenza H1N1/PR8 by engineering a single-domain VL-M2 specific into a bivalent form.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Flu disease, with high mortality and morbidity, is caused by the influenza virus. Influenza infections are most effectively prevented through vaccination, but it requires annual reformulation due to the antigenic shift or drift of hemagglutinin and ...
