Nanobodies are monomeric, single-domain antibody fragments derived from camelids and are useful in therapies due to their small size and specific antigen binding. Nanobodies can be expressed in bacterial systems because unlike antibodies, it has no characteristic post-translational modification like glycosylation. Fused to a cargo they can easily penetrate solid tumors and have the desired effect like killing cells locally. Anti-CEA nanobody is targeting the immunglobulin-like glycoprotein CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) which is a tumor biomarker in pancreatic cancer (overexpressed in about 85% of pancreatic cancers), but also present in colorectal and lung cancer. Due to its frequency in pancreatic cancer, it is often used as a tumor biomarker. CEA is associated with liver metastasis therefore it is a sign of malignant cancer as well. | Nanobodies are monomeric, single-domain antibody fragments derived from camelids and are useful in therapies due to their small size and specific antigen binding.

Anti-CEA Nanobody (C43)
CEA-specific (carcinoembryonic antigen) Nanobody is optimized for production in E. coli. This Nanobody has the ability to bind to the CEA antigen and thus can be used to identify cells over expressing the CEA antigen, which is common in various cancers.
Usage and Biology
Nanobodies are monomeric, single-domain antibody fragments derived from camelids and are useful in therapies due to their small size and specific antigen binding. Nanobodies can be expressed in bacterial systems because unlike antibodies, it has no characteristic post-translational modification like glycosylation. Fused to a cargo they can easily penetrate solid tumors and have the desired effect like killing cells locally. Anti-CEA nanobody is targeting the immunglobulin-like glycoprotein CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) which is a tumor biomarker in pancreatic cancer (overexpressed in about 85% of pancreatic cancers), but also present in colorectal and lung cancer. Due to its frequency in pancreatic cancer, it is often used as a tumor biomarker. CEA is associated with liver metastasis therefore it is a sign of malignant cancer as well.
