nanobodies
Camelid-derived immunoproteins
Nanobodies are small antibody fragments derived from camelids—llamas, alpacas, and camels—whose immune systems produce unusually compact antibodies.
At roughly one-tenth the size of conventional antibodies, nanobodies can reach biological targets that larger molecules cannot access.
They're used in research, diagnostics, and emerging therapies: Researchers developed nanobodies that block viral entry into cells.
