Anti-IgG nanobodies often perform more efficiently than polyclonal secondary antibodies in various experimental assays. Therefore, they are recommended for various experimental procedures. Anti-IgG nanobodies were shown to be more sensitive during Western blots when conjugated with different molecules (HRP, fluorophores etc.) (Pleiner et al., 2018). Furthermore, combination of two distinct nanobodies for immunofluorescence labelling provided exceptionally clean and strong signal, unprecedented among monovalent secondary antibodies (Pleiner et al., 2018). Additionally, using such an antibody allows skipping two-step incubation procedures during immunostaing as the nanobody can be first incubated with a primary antibody and this conjugate might be added to the cells in a one-step procedure (Pleiner et al., 2018). Finally, this anti-kappa nanobody has been recommended for superresolution microscopy, as it can place the fluorophore much closer to the antigen which had been bound by the primary antibody than a usual secondary antibody would be able to (Pleiner et al., 2018).
This chimeric mouse antibody was made using a variable domain sequence of the original VHH format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
