VHH bolt-ons: Modular building blocks for smarter biologics
VHH single-domain antibodies are increasingly being used as modular building blocks in next-generation biologics. Their small size, stability and engineering flexibility mean they can be “bolted on” to other therapeutic molecules to add new functionality — from extending half-life and i...
Why antigen format matters in VHH antibody discovery
Successful antibody discovery depends not only on the discovery platform, but also on how well the target antigen is prepared, presented and controlled. For many therapeutic programmes, the challenge is not simply finding a binder — it is finding the right binder against a target that m...
