Description
Camelid
VHH Antibody (also called single-domain antibody, sdAb or Nanobody by Ablynx)
is a peptide chain about 110 amino acids in length, containing one variable
domain of a heavy-chain antibody (a VHH fragment). Like a whole antibody, the camelid
VHH antibody is able to bind selectively to a specific antigen. This single-domain
antibody has a broad range of applications in biotechnical and therapeutic research
fields due to its small size, simple production and high affinity. However, their sequences may increase the risk of immunogenicity and
anti-drug antibody (ADA) development in humans, and thus, sdAbs are routinely
humanized during development.
GenScript’s MonoRab™ Anti- Humanized VHH Affinity
Resin FF (Cat. No. L00951) is designed for purification of humanized VHH
single domain antibody from commonly used protein expression systems such as bacteria,
yeast and mammalian cells. The VHH single domain antibody in cell lysate can specifically
bind to the Anti- Humanized VHH monoclonal antibody coupled to the resin. Nonspecific binding
reactions are eliminated by stringent washing steps, and the purified target
protein is eluted with a high recovery rate. Table 1 lists the main characteristics
of GenScript’s MonoRab™ Anti- Humanized VHH Affinity Resin FF.
