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]
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
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]
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.

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.

Overexpression, Purification, Characterization, and Pathogenicity of Vibrio harveyi Hemolysin VHH [PDF]
ABSTRACT Vibrio harveyi VHH hemolysin is a putative pathogenicity factor in fish. In this study, the hemolysin gene vhhA was overexpressed in Escherichia coli , and the purified VHH was characterized with regard to pH and temperature profiles, phospholipase activity ...

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport
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 ...

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,
