Real staying power : A subset of bovine antibodies (blue, see scheme) feature an ultralong CDR3 loop that forms an antiparallel β‐sheet stalk, terminating in a folded, disulfide cross‐linked knob domain. Fusion of a polypeptide (red) into this unique CDR3 motif provides a novel strategy for generating polypeptide therapeutics with enhanced pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
