According to Andrew Hayhurst, a virologist at Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research, and colleagues, the proteins from the llamas are antibodies, which play a role in the immune system as it fights off diseases. The researchers found that the so-called single domain antibodies, or nanobodies, can be used repeatedly to detect the neurotoxins and serve as detectors for some toxins that can't be spotted using generally available means.
