Nanobodies are small monomeric binding modules derived from camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies. Despite lacking a light chain, nanobodies retain unimpaired binding ability. A beta-sandwich fold supports the presentation of three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) to bind antigens. The convex-shaped paratope formed by CDRs and the oblate structure of nanobodies grant access to small clefts on the antigen, often difficult to recognize by conventional IgGs.Nanobodies are of interest for their unique physiochemical properties, but mostly for their versatility in protein engineering, eg for (i) multivalent and multi-paratopic/specific constructs with enhanced avidity or functions;(ii) albumin-targeting featuring tailored half-live extension;(iii) targeted delivery of radioisotopes, proteins, chemotherapeutic conjugates, nanoparticles or viral vectors. Nanobodies are relevant for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases including cancer, autoimmune disorders and infections.
