Small and mighty – VHH ‘bolt-ons’ to expand therapeutic functionality
Small antibody building blocks: VHHs or “Nanobodies” are single domain antibodies about 1/10th the size of an IgG. Combined with their robust biophysical properties and high solubiltiy, the simplicity of these molecules…
The golden age of bi-specific antibodies is here
Bi-specific antibodies (BsAbs) – antibodies that can recognise two different epitopes on either the same or different antigens – have been around for a long time. However, in the past few years we’ve seen a renaissance in the design and application of these molecules.
On the Origin of VHHs: Student serendipity and coincidental camels
We explain how VHHs – small format single-domain antibody fragments – have a range of unique properties that make them ideal for enhancing the therapeutic potential of conventional IgG antibodies.
Isogenica turns 25: Our journey
We’ve come a long way over the past quarter century, from our early years as a therapeutic peptide discovery company to specialising in VHH antibodies. Here’s the story…
Advantages of using VHH antibodies for CAR engineering
We explain the advantages of VHHs for CAR ectodomain targeting relative to traditional scFvs including size, solubility, and VHHs unique “magic finger” CDR3 domain.

White Paper “Data-Driven Validation of Synthetic VHHs”
This white paper provides a data-driven validation of Isogenica’s synthetic VHH libraries, powered by Colibra® technology. Designed for biotech and pharmaceutical scientists, it demonstrates how these libraries enhance and accelerate drug discovery, particularly in oncology and immunotherapy. Download Extending half-lives of VHH antibodies
Because VHHs are small, they can be cleared quickly from the bloodstream. This can be a useful feature for some applications, but often a longer plasma half-life is desirable. DOWNLOADAdvantages of VHH in bi-specifics
To learn more about the application of VHHs in bi-specifics, we have condensed our expertise into a downloadable Application Note. DOWNLOADOptimizing CAR-T and T-cell antibody engagers: a role for VHH single domain antibodies
This whitepaper summarises the clinical and research landscape for CAR-T and T-cell engaging antibody therapies and show how single domain VHH antibodies can be applied to optimise the next generation of these important new therapeutic modalities. DOWNLOADIsogenica’s PD-L1 VHH as Functional Antagonists
PD-1 is an immune checkpoint protein expressed on the surface of multiple types of immune cells, including antigen-stimulated T-cells and tumour specific T-cells1. Interaction between PD-1 and its ligands (PD-L1 or PD-L2), is responsible for the regulation of T-cell activation, apoptosis, proliferation and cytokine production. DOWNLOADAnti-LRP5/6 VHH inhibits WNT pathway and prevents tumour growth
VHH are the variable domain of heavy chain only antibodies. They are small in size (~15 kD) and biophysically robust. With tunable half-lives, these antibodies are ideal for targeting inaccessible epitopes, achieving enhanced tissue penetration, multi-target binding and formatting for payload delivery… DOWNLOAD
