Publication number: 20240218055Abstract: Single-domain monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind Lassa virus glycoprotein (GPC) are described. The single-domain antibodies (“nanobodies”) were isolated from camel (VHH) and shark variable new antigen (VNAR) phage display libraries panned against a stabilized form of the GPC trimer. The GPC-specific nanobodies, and conjugates thereof, can be used for the diagnosis and treatment of a Lassa virus infection.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: July 4, 2024Applicant: The U.S.A., as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Mitchell Ho, Peter D. Kwong, Zhijian Duan, Yaping Sun, Sao-Fong Cheung, Jason J. Gorman
