Project Summary We're excited to share our latest findings on the complex interplay between serum antibodies and B cell repertoires in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 immunity. Our study offers new insights into the development of high-affinity antibodies against emerging...
VHH Discovery with Alicanto versus Phage Display
Oct 28, 2024 | Science, Services
Project Summary Camelids such as llamas and alpacas produce conventional antibodies as well as heavy-chain only antibodies (HCAbs) from which the small, stable, antigen-binding domain (VHH) can be extracted. Target-specific VHHs can be identified from immunized...
Limit of Detection – Serum Antibody Analysis
Aug 2, 2024 | Science, Services
In this blog post, we evaluate the limit of detection for serum antibody analysis achieved by Alicanto using spike ins.
VHH Antibody Repertoire to Phage Library Comparison
May 7, 2024 | Products, Science, Services
We used Reptor to compare the VHH antibody repertoire from an immunized llama to a phage library constructed from the same source.
