  • Publication number: 20240002475
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for producing large repertoires of recombinant single domain antibodies with high affinities and specificities against any antigen. Included are methods for making and identifying single domain antibodies produced by camelids, the single domain antibodies themselves, modifications of the nanobodies, expression vectors encoding the nanobodies, cDNAs encoding the nanobodies, cells comprising the expression vectors and/or cDNA, and methods of making the single domain antibodies re-combinantly Antigen-specific single domain antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof having a Kd for the antigen in a sub-micromolar range are provided. The use of Protein M in isolating Ag-specific HCAbs, and digesting the isolated HCAbs using IdeS protease, is an aspect of this disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20230331824
    Abstract: Single-domain antibodies that bind the severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein are disclosed. The single-domain antibodies include binding domains that bind epitopes of the Spike ectodomain inside and outside the receptor binding domain. The single-domain antibodies can be used for multiple purposes including in the research, diagnosis, and prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of COVID-19.

  • Publication number: 20130065771
    Abstract: This invention relates to a kit and a method for the collection and analysis of complex protein mixtures. More particularly, the invention relates to a kit comprising a single barrel filtration well or a multi-well filtration plate wherein each well comprises an upper filtration zone; a lower filtration zone; a conical flow director zone; and, an elution tip, wherein the upper filtration zone and the lower filtration zone are separated by a retainer ring disposed within the lower filtration zone. The upper filtration zone comprises an upper collection zone, a sponge zone, and a deep bed filtration zone; and, the lower filtration zone comprises the retainer ring, a supported hydrophilic membrane and a lower bed filtration media. When used with an array of selected buffer solutions, the multi-well filtration plate can provide accurate, automated, high-throughput protein analysis by affinity chromatography.
