ABLYNX in Belgium which is a biopharmaceutical company is engaged in discovery and development of Nanobodies in therapeutic programs including major disease areas such as thrombosis ,inflammation, oncology and Alzheimer’s disease.
Ablynx’s vWF Nanobody programme was granted orphan drug designation by both the U.S. FDA and the European Commission for the treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
Nanobodies  with specificity to other targets of biological relevance will be another future challenge.
