ABSTRACT
Single-domain antibodies, or VHH, represent an attractive molecular basis to design affinity proteins with favorable properties. Beyond high affinity and specificity for their cognate target, they usually show high stability and high production yields in bacteria, yeast, or mammalian cells. In addition to these favorable properties, their ease of engineering makes them useful for many applications. Until the past few years, the generation of VHH involved the immunization of a Camelidae with the target antigen, followed by a phage display selection using phage libraries encoding the VHH repertoire of the animal blood sample. However, this approach is constrained by the accessibility to the animals, and the output relies on the animal's immune system.Recently, synthetic VHH libraries have been designed to avoid the use of animals. Here, we describe the construction of VHH combinatorial libraries and their use for the selection of binders by ribosome display, a fully in vitro selection technique.
