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 ...

A novel single-domain antibody multimer that potently neutralizes tetanus neurotoxin

open access: yesVaccine: X, 2021
Tetanus antitoxin, produced in animals, has been used for the prevention and treatment of tetanus for more than 100 years. The availability of antitoxins, ethical issues around production, and risks involved in the use of animal derived serum products ...

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Enhancement of toxin- and virus-neutralizing capacity of single-domain antibody fragments by N-glycosylation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Single-domain antibody fragments (VHHs) have several beneficial properties as compared to conventional antibody fragments. However, their small size complicates their toxin- and virus-neutralizing capacity.

Single-Domain Vhh Antibodies as Protein Stabilization Modules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
VHH domains are the antigen-binding units found in heavy-chain-only antibodies from the Camelidae family (e.g., camels and llamas). They are considered a unique minimalist antibody scaffold due to the lack of a variable light chain domain. Despite having

Nanobodies as next‐generation targeting platforms: From discovery technologies to translational biomedicine

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Nanobodies, derived from the variable domains of camelid heavy‐chain‐only antibodies, have emerged as transformative biomedical tools due to their nanoscale size, exceptional stability, and unique capacity to recognize cryptic epitopes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the field, outlining the structural and biochemical features of ...

Characterizing VHH Domains as Stabilization and Oligomeric Control Modules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The biophysical properties of the VHH domain from heavy-chain-only antibodies obtained from the Camelidae family has expanded opportunities for novel antibody applications.

Advances in deep‐tissue fluorescence imaging through optical clearing: A review

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Optical clearing refers to techniques that are used to improve the optical transparency of biological tissues. Optical clearing enables imaging of deeper lying tissues as well as 3D volumetric imaging of whole organs. This review examines reports on the integration of optical clearing with advanced fluorescence imaging techniques, with particular ...

Double digestion and purification of VHH antibodies.

open access: yes, 2014
(A) Agarose gel electrophoresis of VHH antibodies double digested with BamHI and HindIII. Upper bands of 4500 bp correspond to vector pCANTAB5E whereas lower bands of 400 bp correspond to VHH fragments of P2 (lane 1), P9 (lane 2), P10 (lane 3), P13 (lane
