摘要

Camelid single-domain antibodies (sdAbs), commercially known as Nanobodies™, possess remarkable properties that render them highly suitable as versatile tools for target discovery and product development. Interestingly, despite their successful and broad deployment in life sciences, sdAbs remain heavily underutilized in the field of molecular parasitology. In this chapter, we describe how we have employed an unbiased camelid immunization strategy to discover novel diagnostic biomarkers with sdAbs. This protocol shows the potential of camelid sdAbs as powerful tools for novel target discovery in kinetoplastid research.
