Abnova - VHH nanoBiTE™ Service

Fc-Free Bispecific VHH Antibody Engineering Platform for Targeted Immunotherapy

Abnova’s VHH nanoBiTE™ service specializes in the development of bispecific VHH antibodies—compact, engineered molecules capable of binding two distinct antigens or epitopes simultaneously. This dual-targeting ability is ideal for immune and tumor cell redirecting, multiple epitope targeting, and novel immuno-oncology research.

Their small molecular size allows deep tissue penetration, making them especially effective in hard-to-reach areas like the tumor microenvironment. The absence of an Fc domain eliminates Fc receptor interactions, reducing off-target immune activation and enabling precise therapeutic action.

Each VHH nanoBiTE™ is constructed by genetically fusing two VHH domains with a flexible linker, combining high-affinity binding with reduced production complexity—delivering a powerful, modular platform for next-generation biologics.

Advantages

  • Small Size
  • Superior Stability
  • High Affinity and Specificity
  • Easy Conjugation
  • Enables Rapid Immune Cell Activation While Minimizing Systemic Exposure
  • Cost-Effectiveness and Scalable Production

Data Examples

Indirect ELISA

Data nanoBITE Indirect ELISA

Indirect ELISA Analysis of 2X diluted culture supernatant & purified human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™. Human PD-L1 hFc fusion protein was coated onto a plate. 2X diluted culture supernatant and purified human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™ were used as the primary antibody, with rabbit anti-Camelid VHH Cocktail (HRP) as the secondary antibody.

Sandwich ELISA

Data nanoBITE Sandwich ELISA

Sandwich ELISA Analysis of human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™. Goat Anti-Human IgG-Fc was coated onto a plate as the capture antibody and incubated with human PD-L1 hFc fusion protein . Human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™ was serial diluted as the detection antibody, with rabbit anti-Camelid VHH Cocktail (HRP) as the secondary antibody.

Flow cytometry

Data nanoBITE Flow Cytometry

A. Flow cytometry analysis verified the effective binding of human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™ to enriched human CD8 T cells from healthy person, serving as the CD3e positive control.

B. Flow cytometry analysis verified the effective binding of human PD-L1 x CD3e nanoBiTE™ to HT29 cells, serving as the PD-L1 positive control.
