ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to immunoglobulin new antigen receptors (IgNARs) from fish and uses thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to modified IgNAR variable domains and to domains from members of the immunoglobulin superfamily that have been modified to include structural features derived from IgNAR variable domains.
