VHH Antibodies (Nanobodies) Advantages and Limitations

Nanobodies are antibodies with a single variable domain located on a heavy chain, also known as VHH antibodies. Nanobodies are often seen as an alternative to conventional antibodies, and have significant differences in both production and use that influence their suitability.

			Aqueous Two-phase Systems: Pros and Cons Phase systems consisting of polymers or polymers with saltwater can be used to separate cells, membranes, viruses, proteins and other biomolecules. Aqueous two-phase systems, also known as ATPS, use the properties of the polymer surface and conformation of the materials to partition biomolecules.

			New approach to broadly acting, highly effective HIV vaccine Researchers have reported a major advance in the creation of a successful HIV vaccine that is not produced by the host animal. If this is validated, the vaccine thus created could help the host resist viral attack with HIV.
