A guide to: generation and design of nanobodies

Serge Muyldermans

Summary: Nanobodies, a trademark of Ablynx, are single antigen-binding domains of heavy chain-only antibodies in Camelidae produced recombinantly for research and medical applications. Various methods are used for their generation, producing cost-effective Nbs with high affinity for their target antigens. Additionally, engineering technologies have been explored to broaden the application range of Nbs for potential advantages over other affinity reagents.

Structure-guided multivalent nanobodies block SARS-CoV-2 infection and suppress mutational escape

Paul-Albert Koenig et al.

Summary: In this study, new neutralizing nanobodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein were developed, showing enhanced neutralizing activity through engineering technology and successfully suppressing the emergence of escape mutants. The findings suggest that nanobodies can neutralize through receptor binding competition and also render virions noninfectious.

Faster Surface Ligation Reactions Improve Immobilized Enzyme Structure and Activity

Andres F. Chaparro Sosa et al.

Summary: The efficiency of ligation reactions plays a crucial role in maintaining the activity and structure of enzymes on solid surfaces. Limiting enzyme exploration of surfaces may overcome the challenge of enzyme inactivation during integration. Increasing the rate constant of surface ligation reactions can enhance the probability of immobilization with reactive surface sites.
