Llama Antibodies
Also known as "nanobodies," are a specialized type of antibody derived from llamas. These antibodies are smaller in size compared to conventional antibodies and possess unique structural features. Llama antibodies exhibit high specificity and affinity for their target molecules, making them valuable tools in research, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications
Features
Small Size
Llama antibodies are significantly smaller than conventional antibodies, with a single variable domain structure
Stability
Llama antibodies are highly stable under a wide range of conditions, including temperature extremes, pH variations, and protease digestion.
Solubility
Llama antibodies are inherently soluble and exhibit low aggregation propensity, even at high concentrations
Applications
Research Tools
Llama antibodies serve as valuable research tools for the detection, purification, and functional analysis of target molecules in biochemical and cellular assays
Diagnostic Assays
Llama antibodies are utilized in diagnostic assays for the detection and quantification of specific biomarkers associated with diseases such as cancer, infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and neurological disorders
Imaging Agents
Llama antibodies labeled with imaging probes such as fluorophores or radionuclides can be used as molecular imaging agents for visualizing specific targets in vivo.
