Table 1.

Features of nanobodies compare to conventional antibodies.

a Nanobodies are able to recognize native epitopes, which are unusual for the classical antibodies.
b Lesser amount of immunogenicity.
c High stability and solubility in the harsh environments (denaturing conditions or high temperatures).
d Small size facilitated to higher tissue penetration.
e Nanobodies can be produced easily in yeast and bacteria. Its lack the Fc domain (glycan-harboring), and are easy to make than the standard mAbs.
f Due to the absence of Fc regions, nanobodies have low risk of antibody-dependent enhancement of infection.
g Life span of nanobodies can be enhanced by adding human albumin or polyethylene glycol.
h Nanobodies can be used for new immunobiotechnological purposes and are very easy to manipulate.
i Effortless for the selection by phage display.
