Genetically engineered red cells expressing single domain camelid antibodies confer long-term protection against botulinum neurotoxin

A short half-life in the circulation limits the application of therapeutics such as single-domain antibodies (VHHs). We utilize red blood cells to prolong the circulatory half-life of VHHs. Here we present VHHs against botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT/A) on the surface of red blood cells by expressing c...
