Abstract: The present invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology, and in particular, to an anti-CD40 nanobody, and a preparation method therefor and use thereof. The anti-CD40 nanobody provided by the present invention has three unique complementarity determining regions, namely CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The present invention further provides a sequence encoding the nanobody or its VHH chain, a corresponding expression vector, and a host cell capable of expressing the nanobody. The present invention includes immunizing an alpaca by constructing a CD40 antigen to obtain a PBMC of the alpaca and constructing a vector; screening an anti-CD40 antibody through phage display; and finally obtaining a highly sensitive and specifically binding antibody through functional assays and sequencing result analysis. The nanobody provided by the present invention can specifically recognize and bind to CD40.

Abstract: A method for preparing highly stabilized and dispersible zero valent iron nanoparticles and using the nanoparticles as a remediation technology against inorganic chemical toxins in contaminated sites. The method employs a composition containing select polysaccharides (starch or cellulose) as a stabilizer for the iron nanoparticles in a liquid carrier, and results in suspensions of iron nanoparticles of desired size and mobility in water, brine, soils or sediments. The stabilizer facilitates controlling the dispersibility of the iron nanoparticles in the liquid carrier. An effective amount of the composition is delivered to a contaminated site so that the zero valent iron nanoparticles can remediate one or more toxins such as an arsenate, a nitrate, a chromate, or a perchlorate in the contaminated site.
