a Underlined VHHs showed 146S specificity in earlier published data. VHHs that bind specifically to 146S of serotype A strains are colored green or purple by their CDR3 group. b The binding behavior of VHHs is defined as follows: + is binding when a peak is visible in SDG or ELISA signal in Figure 6 (absorbance > 0.3 at 2 µg/mL FMDV particles); - is no binding (absorbance < 0.3 at 2 µg/mL FMDV particles); +/- is slight binding (a peak is visible SDG, but not as high as with other VHHs); ND is not determined; ++ indicates better binding than +. c The particle specificity of VHHs is defined as follows. Capsid: binding both 146S and 75S; underlined Capsid: binding 146S, 75S and VLPs; none: binds all particles; 146S: binds only 146S; 75S preference: binds all particles but with a preference for 75S. d M652F showed an inconsistency: it showed capsid-specific binding with a preference for 75S when analyzing SDG, but could bind 12S obtained by heating (Figure 2). e A/GDMM/CHA/2013 wt VLPs are the only VLPs produced in E. coli.
