eBook | VHH antibody engineering: a new tool for the therapeutic development pipeline

Written by Beatrice Bowlby (Digital Editor)

Antibody discovery is at the core of therapeutics research. VHH antibodies, also known as single-domain antibodies, offer a smaller, engineerable alternative to traditional antibodies, overcoming many of their limitations.

In this eBook, in partnership with Abcore (CA, USA), a Fortis Life SciencesTM (MA, USA) company, we highlight how VHH antibodies are being developed and harnessed for therapeutic purposes, delving into the scaffolds used to generate and discover them and examples of their real-world applications against disease.
