Abstract excerpt
Antibodies commonly contain hydrophobic residues within their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) that mediate binding to target antigens. Unfortunately, hydrophobic CDRs can also promote antibody aggregation, which is especially concerning for therapeutic antibodies due to the immunogenicity of antibody aggregates. Here we investigate how the sequences of CDRs within single-domain (V(H)) antibodies...
