Abstract excerpt
A major challenge in antiviral antibody therapy is keeping up with the rapid evolution of viruses. Our research shows that nanobodies - single-domain antibodies derived from camelids - can be rapidly re-engineered to combat new viral strains through structure-guided in vitro evolution. Specifically, for viral mutations occurring at nanobody-binding sites, we introduce randomized amino acid sequences into nanobody...
