| Company activities Nanobodies® are unique and highly versatile single domain antibodies. Because of their small size, unique structure and unparalleled stability, Nanobodies® combine the beneficial features of conventional antibodies (such as affinity and selectivity) with the desirable properties of small molecules. Nanobodies® are functional single antigen-binding domains derived from antibody heavy chains. All Nanobodies® contain the unique structural features of antigen-binding domains of naturally occurring antibodies that function without a light chain (the VHH domain). Nanobodies® are unique because, in addition to the benefits of conventional antibodies, they have characteristics that make them superior to conventional antibodies. | |
