Abstract

Natural toxins pose a substantial threat to human health worldwide, with millions of individuals suffering from toxin poisoning annually. Rapid detection and efficient neutralization of these toxins are crucial to ensure human health. Nanobodies (Nbs) are a unique antibody type comprising only variable region fragments of the heavy chain. With properties such as small size, high stability, superior tissue penetration, and ease of production and modification, making Nbs are particularly advantageous in the diagnosis and treatment of natural toxin poisoning. This review outlines the current advancements in the modification of Nbs and highlights the research progress in addressing the diagnosis and treatment of poisoning caused by certain natural toxins. It underscores the potential of Nbs in this field, while also examining their benefits and associated challenges. By doing so, the study lays a robust groundwork for the future application of Nbs in combating natural toxin poisoning. Nbs could play an increasingly important role in diagnosing and treating natural toxin poisoning, contributing to the development of precision medicine.
