Abstract
Monoclonal immunoglobulins are widely successful as therapeutics and have also been effective in treating COVID-19. However, their production in mammalian cells is expensive and cannot be scaled to meet the demand in a global pandemic. Camelid V(H)H antibodies (also called nanobodies), however, can be manufactured cost-efficiently in bacteria or yeast. Here we highlight our progress in developing nanobodies that effectively neutralize SARS-CoV-2 and its variants.
