Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) of defined structure hold great promise for cancer therapies, but further advances are constrained by the complex structures of full-sized antibodies. Camelid-derived single domain antibody fragments (VHHs or nanobodies) offer possible solutions to this challenge by providing expedited target screening/validation through shuttling between imaging and therapy. Here, we used a nanobody (VHH7) specific for murine MHC-II and rendered sortase-ready for introduction of oligoglycine-modified cytotoxic payloads or NIR fluorophores. The VHH7 conjugates outcompeted commercial mAbs for internalization and exhibited high specificity and cytotoxicity against the A20 murine B-cell lymphoma. Non-invasive NIR imaging with a VHH7-fluorophore conjugate showed rapid tumor targeting on both localized and metastatic lymphoma models. Subsequent treatment with the nanobody-drug conjugate efficiently controlled tumor growth and metastasis without obvious systemic toxicity.
