Traditionally, display technologies (in vitro methods) are the major routes for VHH discovery. However, display technologies are not optimized for cell surface targets as cell-based screening could not be consistently incorporated into the panning process. This has led to significant attritions of on-cell binding hits coming out from the screening funnel.
Abveris has developed an optimized in vivo discovery workflow based on immunized camelids tailored for cell surface targets. Abveris leverages an industry-leading Beacon-based single B cell screening platform, enabling the rapid identification of on-cell binders with required activities and/or cross-reactivity in just 1 day.

In this case study, Abveris scientists successfully produced a panel of high-affinity anti-PSMA VHHs from an immunized alpaca using a single B cell workflow and demonstrated:
High-affinity VHH were expressed and validated for antigen binding
