Single domain camel antibodies: current status.
The antigen-binding capacity of the paired variable domains of an antibody is well established. The observation that the isolated heavy chains of anti-hapten antibodies retain some antigen-binding capacity in the absence of light chains led to attempts to obtain an even smaller antigen-binding unit in a VH format. Unfortunately, the poor solubility, the reduced affinity for the antigen and the ...
متن کاملHeterologous Antigen Selection of Camelid Heavy Chain Single Domain Antibodies against Tetrabromobisphenol A
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a ubiquitous flame retardant. A high-throughput immunoassay would allow for monitoring of human and environmental exposures as a part of risk assessment. Naturally occurring antibodies in camelids that are devoid of light chain, show great promise as an efficient tool in monitoring environmental contaminants, but they have been rarely used for small molecules. A...

Abstract Background: In molecular approach, serum of camel contains a unique type of antibodies devoid of light chains since the light chain is missing, the heavy-chain antibodies should bind their antigen by one single domain, the variable domain of the heavy immunoglobulin chain. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) is one of the important proteins in angiogenesis which...
متن کاملSelection of single-chain variable fragments specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen using ribosome display
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
متن کاملConstruction of recombinant Pichia pastoris expressing single-chain antibody fragment against extracellular domain of EpCAM
Introduction: Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is highly expressed on epithelial tumors. So, EpCAM is a valuable antigen for targeted therapy. Using monoclonal antibodies (mabs) is an attractive approach for targeted cancer therapy. Importantly, limitations of intact mabs including large size led to the development of antibody fragments such as single chain fragment variable (scfv). Pi...
