Georgia State University researchers develop nanobodies from llama DNA to neutralize 96% of diverse HIV-1 strains.

Researchers at Georgia State University have developed nanobodies derived from llama DNA that can neutralize 96% of diverse HIV-1 strains. These nanobodies, made from engineered llama antibody fragments, are more efficient at attacking the virus' surface and could be combined with existing antibodies to achieve near-100% neutralization, potentially offering new treatment options in the fight against HIV.
