Abstract: Blood-brain barrier permeable peptide compositions that contain variable antigen binding domains from camelid and/or shark heavy-chain only single-domain antibodies are described. The variable antigen binding domains of the peptide compositions bind to therapeutic and diagnostic biomarkers in the central nervous system, such as the amyloid-beta peptide biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. The peptide compositions contain constant domains from human IgG, camelid IgG, and/or shark IgNAR. The peptide compositions include heavy-chain only single-domain antibodies and compositions with one or more variable antigen binding domain bound to one or more constant domains.

Abstract: Camelid and shark heavy chain only antibodies and their analogs are disclosed. Methods of making such antibodies and their analogs are also provided. Also provided are kits, and methods of using such antibodies and their analogs in diagnostics, prognostics, therapy, and simultaneous diagnosis and therapy.
