Background Single-domain antibody fragments possess structural features, such as a small
dimension, an elevated stability, and the singularity of recognizing epitopes non-accessible …

In 1989, a new type of antibody was identified, first in the sera of dromedaries and later also
in all other species of the Camelidae family. These antibodies do not contain a light chain …

Neurotransmitter-gated ion channels of the Cys-loop receptor family mediate fast
neurotransmission throughout the nervous system. The molecular processes of …

ABSTRACT Single-domain antibodies (sdAbs), the autonomous variable domains of heavy
chain-only antibodies produced naturally by camelid ungulates and cartilaginous fishes …

The use of antibodies in cancer therapy has come a long way since the day Paul Ehrlich
described the concept and Kohler and Milstein devised the hybridoma technology to bring …

ABSTRACT The Gram-positive bacterium Lactococcus lactis, used for the production of
cheeses and other fermented dairy products, falls victim frequently to fortuitous infection by …

Camelidae single domain antibodies (VHHs) have structural and binding features that
render them suitable alternatives to conventional IgG antibodies. VHHs are usually easier to …

Serum of animals belonging to the Camelidae family (camels and llamas) contains fully
active antibodies that are naturally devoid of light chains. Variable domains derived from …

Fy blood group antigens are carried by the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC), a
red cells receptor for Plasmodium vivax broadly implicated in human health and diseases …

Lactococcal phages belong to a large family of Siphoviridae and infect Lactococcus lactis, a
Gram-positive bacterium used in commercial dairy fermentations. These phages are …
