VIB NANOBODY CORE FACILITY YOUR ONE STOP NANOBODY SHOP
Nanobodies are a unique form of Mabs derived from camelid heavy-chain antibodies, characterized by a single antigen binding domain. Nbs are small, stable and easy to produce in various host cells. Nbs bind their targets with nM affinities and often interact with epitopes that are less accessible to/or less immunogenic for classical Mabs. These characteristics make Nbs ideal for a wide range of applications: immunotherapeutics for both human and animal diseases, molecular imaging, crystallization aids, biosensor applications or as companion diagnostics. Founded in 2005 by a team of VIB scientists based at VUB, the Nanobody Core is internationally recognized as a reference center in Nb technology.
