Preferred Label : Single-Chain antibodies;
MeSH definition : A form of antibodies consisting only of the variable regions of the heavy and light
chains (FV FRAGMENTS), connected by a small linker peptide. They are less immunogenic
than complete immunoglobulin and thus have potential therapeutic use.;
