General information

W25 is a monomeric nanobody identified using an Escherichia coli surface display technique for its affinity for the SARS-CoV-2 Spike RBD. It is derived from a B-lymphocyte clone from an immunized alpaca (Nieto et al., 2021).

The nanobady bound to SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein RBD with an estimated EC50 of 33 nM in vitro. Unmodified or fused with human dimeric or monomeric Fc, it neutralized SARS-CoV-2 (Spike variants D614 or G614). The IC50 values ranged from ca. 3.69 nM (G614; dimeric Fc fusion) to ca. 27.4 nM (D614; monomeric Fc fusion).
