A VHH-Fc Fusion Targeted to the Chloroplast Thylakoid Lumen Assembles and Neutralizes Enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Chimeric fusion proteins comprising a single domain antibody (VHH) fused to a crystallizable fragment (Fc) of an immunoglobulin are modular glycoproteins that are becoming increasingly in demand because of their value as diagnostics, research reagents ...

Lifelong evolution of autoreactive plasma cell numbers, affinity and anatomical location in arthritic K/BxN mice

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective The spontaneous K/BxN mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis has been used extensively to study chronic inflammation, contribution of immune cells, and the primordial role of autoreactive antibodies in disease initiation and severity. Only the ubiquitous enzyme glucose‐6‐phosphate isomerase (GPI) is the target of IgG autoantibodies secreted by ...

Anti-VP6 VHH: An Experimental Treatment for Rotavirus A-Associated Disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Species A Rotaviruses (RVA) remain a leading cause of mortality in children under 5 years of age. Current treatment options are limited. We assessed the efficacy of two VP6-specific llama-derived heavy chain antibody fragments (VHH) -2KD1 and 3B2- as an ...

Chimera X Interface to Enhance Understanding in Biochemistry and Immunology

open access: yesBiochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are essential in biological systems, acting in transport, catalysis, and immune defense processes. However, these biomolecules' structural and functional complexity makes teaching and understanding these topics challenging. To address this difficulty, this study aimed to develop tutorials that facilitate learning and teaching about ...

Global analysis of VHHs framework regions with a structural alphabet [PDF]

open access: yesBiochimie, 2016
The VHHs are antigen-binding region/domain of camelid heavy chain antibodies (HCAb). They have many interesting biotechnological and biomedical properties due to their small size, high solubility and stability, and high affinity and specificity for their antigens. HCAb and classical IgGs are evolutionary related and share a common fold.

Development of tCAP(N3): Affinity Peptide‐Aided, pH‐Triggered Strategy for Site‐Specific Native IgG Modification

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The tCAP(N3) reagent, featuring a stable and self‐activating precursor, enables site‐specific conjugation of native IgGs. This Fc‐affinity peptide approach selectively transfers an Ac‐Lys(N3)‐Gly‐Gly payload to Lys248, producing divalently azidated antibody while preserving its biological function.

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

open access: yesSmall Structures, EarlyView.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

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

open access: yesmAbs, 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,
