Abstract

<p>VHH domain therapeutics derived from heavy chain antibodies of Camelidae are currently being developed as novel antibody therapeutics. Advantageous properties of this VHH include high stability, efficient bacterial expression, and ease of antibody engineering; however, it has a short blood half-life. Through examples from previous clinical studies, we would like to consider the issues and the prospects of the development of VHH therapeutics. Furthermore, we describe a new method of VHH development by combining a phage display library and high-throughput sequencing, and introduce the IgG-VHH conjugate as a novel antibody therapeutic prepared by antibody-specific modifications (CCAP: Chemical conjugation by affinity peptide).</p>
