Removing B2m with Nanobodies

Among those on dialysis, a build up in the blood of Beta-2 microglobulin (B2m) is responsible for potentially crippling dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA). Nanobodies are functional antibody fragments—and, used in a resin, they captured 17 times more B2m than in earlier studies, without affecting other blood proteins. Even better, the resin can be regenerated and used again. One day, this approach may be combined with dialysis to improve treatments.
