Obodies
 OBodies are naturally occurring small stable proteins that mimic antibodies. OBodies are engineered to take advantage of their unique characteristics which in many cases have advantages over the current monoclonal antibodies on the market. OBodies can be used in applications where antibodies would perform poorly, for instance where size, stability and non-refrigerated storage are important. OBodies can be used in the detection of infectious diseases in rapid diagnostics test kits for example, as a research tool within universities and contract research organisations and in the therapeutic industry.
