Plain-English summary
Nanobodies are tiny, stable proteins that come from a special type of antibody found in camels. Because of their small size and flexibility, they are becoming very useful in veterinary medicine. They can help with diagnosing animal diseases, treating illnesses, and even creating new vaccines. This review looks at all the different ways nanobodies can be used to improve the health of animals.
Abstract
Nanobodies® are the recombinant single-domain antigen-binding fragments derived from the variable region of camelid heavy chain-only antibodies. Owing to their small size, exceptional stability, and structural flexibility, they have emerged as valuable biologicals impacting veterinary medicine. This review comprehensively examines their applications across animal disease diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccine innovation.
