Abstract

The present disclosure relates to designs and applications of Variable Heavy Only (VHO) domain regions. The present disclosure provides a VHO library of polynucleotides encoding VHO domains, wherein the VHO domains are designed based on the Vh domain of a human Vh family, and a method of generating the VHO library. The present disclosure also provides a phage library displaying the VHO domains encoded by the VHO library through the use of M13 bacteriophage minor coat proteins such as pIX and pVII and a method of generating the phage library. The present disclosure also provides a method of screening the phage library to identify VHO candidates that are capable of binding a target of interest.
