Services

Utrecht Nanobody Facility

• Production of immune libraries.
• Selection of nanobodies that bind with high specificity and affinity to a proteinaceous target (usually <10 nM).
• Production and purification at different yield using E. coli or mammalian HEK cells.
• Fusion to different tags such as myc, his, EPEA, FLAG, GFP, RFP etc.
• Site directed conjugation to fluorophores (Alexa, Atto, NIR dyes) or gold particles.
• Nanobodies can be engineered in different formats including bivalent, bispecific, trimeric, biparatopic etc.
• Nanobodies can be N-terminally biotinylated.

Typical time lines are three months for immunization and library construction and 3 months for selection.
