Using nanobodies to block a tick-borne bacterial infection: In cells and mice, tiny molecules stop bacteria from hijacking cells

ScienceDaily   -   General News Websites

Tiny molecules called nanobodies, which can be designed to mimic antibody structures and functions, may be the key to blocking a tick-borne bacterial infection that remains out of reach of almost all antibiotics, new research suggests.
