The search for effective nanobodies – which are fragments of antibodies that occur naturally in camelids and can be adapted for humans – began in February when a 12-year-old alpaca named Tyson ...

Alpacas are one of very few animals that can naturally produce single-domain antibodies. These are much smaller than common antibodies and are often referred to as nanobodies. Cheaper, and easier ...

Researchers developed an alpaca-derived antibody that could lead to a cheaper and more effective therapeutic option for the Omicron variant of the novel coronavirus. The team from Kyoto University ...

The IGH-VDJ genes in the mouse genome have been successfully replaced by alpaca IGH-VDJ genes in-situ. In 1993, naturally occurring heavy-chain-only antibodies (HCAbs) were discovered.

A team from COGNANO, Inc. (Kyoto), COGNANOUS, Inc. (Delaware), and Biorhodes, Inc. (Kyoto) announced the discovery of a biomarker antibody specific for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Breast ...
