Nanobodies have gained widespread application in immunoassays. However, their small size presents a significant challenge in achieving effective immobilization and optimal sensitivity. Here, we present a novel "one-for-two"-oriented immobilization platform based on an organism-bispecific nanobody (O-BsNb) scaffold, enabling highly sensitive detection of two bacterial pathogens.

The possible interaction of the Fc fragment of antibodies with spA protein on will result in unexpected interference. To address this consideration, we described herein for the first time the development of nanobodies that by definition are devoid of the Fc fraction.
