Disclosed are a nanobody targeting
fibroblast activation
protein-α, and the use thereof. An
amino acid sequence of the nanobody comprises antigenic
determinant complementary regions and framework regions with special structures. Firstly, alpacas are immunized with a recombinant FAPα
antigen protein constructed to obtain a
cell construct of alpaca PBMCs; secondly, an
antibody targeting FAPα is screened by means of
yeast display technology; and finally, an
antibody having high sensitivity and specificity is obtained by means of functional detection and sequencing result analysis. The provided nanobody has the ability to specifically recognize and bind to FAPα, and has the characteristics of small molecular weight, low
immunogenicity, better stability, a significant
inhibitory effect on FAPα-expressing cells or tissues, etc., thus providing a potential
therapeutic strategy for a
disease involving FAPα expression. When the nanobody is used for developing or screening a diagnostic or therapeutic
drug for FAPα-expressing cells or tissues, the obtained
drug has excellent specificity and affinity, and has a significant
inhibitory effect on FAPα-expressing cells or tissues.
