Production of cyclopeptibodies with high target affinity and specificity that can be used as a replacement for antibodies

Background Antibodies find widespread use as therapeutic agents and for diagnostic, imaging, and immunodetection applications. Major limitations of antibodies, however, are their complex structure, limited stability, poor tissue penetration, complex manufacturing process, and associated high costs of production. Despite their numerous and important...
