Single Domain Antibodies: Small but Mighty Therapeutics

Discover the benefits of VHH antibody-based therapies.

Share

Originally derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies, single domain or VHH antibodies can bind epitopes that are inaccessible to conventional monoclonal antibodies due to their small size. Because of their many advantages, researchers investigate the therapeutic potential of single domain antibodies.
