When to use VHH-Fc or bivalent formats?

Use VHH-Fc/bivalent for higher avidity and half-life; monovalent for steric-sensitive epitopes or intracellular applications.

Are your nanobodies humanized?

Some SKUs are humanized or provided as human Fc fusions. Check each product page for framework origin and compatibility.

Nanobodies (VHH) | Single-Domain, High Affinity

Q: What is a nanobody (VHH)?

A single-domain antibody (~15 kDa) from camelid heavy-chain-only Ig. It is highly stable/soluble with strong tissue penetration.

abinScience nanobodies (VHH, ~15 kDa) deliver high affinity and exceptional stability for blocking, imaging and capture workflows. Offered as monovalent VHH, bivalent/bispecific constructs and VHH-Fc fusions, with options for humanization, albumin-binding half-life extension, and conjugates (biotin/HRP/fluor). Produced in E. coli, HEK293 or CHO with lot-specific CoAs for purity, monomer %, endotoxin and activity. RUO

Selection Guide

Use Case: Blocking (choose high-affinity, epitope-defined VHH) vs. imaging (small monovalent VHH or fluor-labeled).
Valency/Fc: VHH-Fc or bivalent VHH increases avidity and half-life; monovalent reduces steric effects and improves penetration.
Expression Host: E. coli for rapid screens; HEK/CHO for Fc fusions and glyco-dependent stability.
Conjugation: Biotin/HRP for ELISA; Alexa 488/647 for IF/live-cell; keep free VHH for neutralization/MoA assays.
Endotoxin & Monomer %: Check lot CoA (SEC-HPLC) for aggregation and endotoxin per sensitive cell assays.

Applications

Receptor/ligand blocking and virus neutralization studies

Live-cell tracing and super-resolution IF with minimal steric hindrance

Affinity capture, enrichment and immunopurification

SPR/BLI kinetics and biosensor construction

FAQs

What is a nanobody (VHH)?

A single-domain antibody derived from camelid heavy-chain-only antibodies; ~15 kDa, highly stable/soluble with excellent tissue penetration.

When should I choose VHH-Fc or bivalent formats?

Use VHH-Fc/bivalent for higher apparent affinity/half-life and plate/cell capture; choose monovalent for steric-sensitive epitopes or intracellular use.

Are these humanized?

Selected SKUs offer humanized frameworks or Fc fusions; see product page for sequence origin and species compatibility.
