Abstract
The present invention relates to fragments, especially variable fragments of immunoglobulins which are by nature devoid of light chains, these fragments being nevertheless capable of exhibiting a recognition and binding activity toward specific antigens. The present invention further relates to the use of such immunoglobulin fragments formed of at least one heavy chain variable fragment or derived therefrom, for therapeutic or veterinary purposes and especially for passive immunotherapy or serotherapy.
