    No full text
    The invention relates to a novel VHH construct which can be bound by a complete antibody without the antigen-binding properties of said VHH construct being adversely affected. The invention also relates to an antibody construct comprising such a VHH construct and a kit, as well as to the use of same in immunodiagnostics or in therapy. The invention allows, inter alia, the existing immunity of a patient to be directed towards another antigen

    No full text
    The present invention relates to an immunogenic polypeptide comprising a multitude of human papillomavirus (HPV) L2 N-terminal peptides corresponding to amino acids 20 to 50 of the L2 polypeptide of HPV16, wherein said HPV L2 N-terminal peptides are L2 N-terminal peptides from at least two different HPV genotypes. The present invention also relates to said immunogenic polypeptide for use in medicine and for use in vaccination against HPV infection. Moreover, the present invention relates to a polynucleotide encoding the immunogenic polypeptide and to a host cell comprising the same. Moreover, the present invention relates to kits, methods, and uses related to the immunogenic polypeptide of the invention
