Single Domain Antibody (SdAb) Discovery Service for Immunoassay and Biosensor Affinity Probe

Recently, single domain antibodies (sdAbs) have been used as affinity probes in immunoassays and biosensors for the diagnostics of serious human diseases and the quantitative analysis of contaminants and toxins in food and environmental samples. With the help of our highly experienced staff, Creative Biolabs provides novel sdAb discovery and development services for our global customers to generate high-quality affinity probes to meet the immunoassay and biosensor development requirements.

The development of biosensors is a significant area of research due to the necessity for sensitive analyte detection devices in various critical fields, including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety analysis. As a superior solution, single domain antibodies are being designed into cost-effective, rapid immunoassays for screening and testing both humans and animals in remote locations or field settings without the need for a cold chain. Additionally, sdAbs are utilized as capturing and detecting agents in immediate electrochemical tests to achieve higher diagnostic sensitivity. These sdAbs can also function as capture agents in other systems, such as enzyme immunoassays (EIA) or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays, enabling early and highly accurate diagnosis of viral, bacterial, or fungal infections.

Advantages of sdAb for In Vitro Diagnosis

Many innovative biosensors rely on small, robust, highly specific affinity probes, where size and directional immobilization matter. Detection probes should ideally possess the following attributes: high accessibility, stability, and selectivity towards the target antigen, even in complex samples, along with cost-effective scalability for large-scale production. Because of the generally high specificity, high stability, low production cost in microbial systems, and easy tailoring, sdAbs have been viewed as potentially superior alternatives to conventional antibodies for in vitro diagnostics.

In Vitro Diagnosis in Infectious Diseases

Early diagnosis using sdAb as an affinity probe is favorable, especially for highly pathogenic and potentially lethal pathogens or pathogens for which no specific cure exists. Obviously, early diagnosis of an infection or disease is essential for a speedy recovery. A wide range of sdAb-based in vitro diagnostic tests has been developed. For example, sdAbs have been effectively utilized to differentiate between Brucella and Yersinia infections in livestock. Diagnostic sdAbs for Trypanosoma parasites have also been developed without the requirement of purified antigens. Recently, a sdAb-based agglutination reagent has undergone evaluation for its efficacy in HIV diagnosis. sdAbs also have been used to monitor the presence of roundworm parasite (Toxocara) excretory-secretory proteins in human sera. These factors collectively indicate that employing single domain antibodies (sdAbs) to develop sensitive and selective biosensors for in vitro disease diagnosis is highly viable.
