Abstract
Monovalent antibodies such as nanobodies that are specific for galectin-7 are described. These monovalent antibodies are able to interfere with the dimerization of galectin-7, and thus may be used for the treatment of diseases associated with dysregulated galectin-7 expression and/or activity, such as certain types of cancers as well as eye diseases or conditions associated with pathological neovascularization or angiogenesis.
