This book first describes the chemical synthesis of model VHH and the characteristics of both enantiomeric VHHs, including binding activity, biodistribution and immunogenicity. Immunogenicity testing in mice demonstrated that administration of conventional L-VHH induced the generation of anti-drug antibodies while D-VHH-binding antibodies were not observed in D-VHH-immunized mice. Second, it is explained that the T7-phage-based mirror-image screening system was developed to identify D-VHH antibody fragments capable of binding to vascular endothelial growth factors. Additionally, this book details the chemical synthesis of full-length hepatitis B virus core protein and interleukin-6 for the application of exploring D-VHHs and other mirror-image molecules. Demonstrating that it is possible to develop a D-VHH that preferentially binds the native target protein and exhibits reduced immunogenicity, this book is useful for anyone interested in developing alternative biotherapeutics with reduced immunogenicity by combining chemical and biological approaches. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5061 606 $aChemistry 606 $aPharmacy 606 $aProteins 606 $aImmunogenetics 606 $aChemical Synthesis 606 $aPharmacy 606 $aProteins 606 $aImmunogenetics 615 0$aChemistry. 615 0$aPharmacy. 615 0$aProteins. 615 0$aImmunogenetics. 615 14$aChemical Synthesis. 615 24$aPharmacy. 615 24$aProteins. 615 24$aImmunogenetics. 676 $a541.39 700 $aAoki$b Keisuke$01785138 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983338303321 996 $aDevelopment of Mirror-Image VHHs with Less Immunogenicity$94316765 997 $aUNINA
