Single domain antibody-scFv conjugate targeting amyloid β and TfR penetrates the blood–brain barrier and interacts with amyloid β by Rebecca Faresjö, Elisabet O. Sjöström, Tiffany Dallas, Magnus M. Berglund, Jonas Eriksson, Dag Sehlin, Stina Syvänen

“…Our findings suggest that these novel VHH-based FPs hold potential for therapeutic and diagnostic applications in AD, providing a strategy to overcome BBB limitations and enhance brain targeting of antibody-based treatments. Furthermore, our results suggest that a given bispecific TfR-binding fusion format has a window of “optimal” affinity where parenchymal delivery is adequate, while blood pharmacokinetics aligns with the desired application of the fusion protein.…”
