A bispecific nanobody (BsNb) was created to target TNF-α and IL-23p19, exhibiting high affinity and remarkable stability. BsNb-Fc inhibited the release of cytokines in CD4+T cells during co-culture experiments. BsNb-Fc effectively alleviated colitis severity in mouse model with acute colitis induced by DSS or TNBS, outperforming the IFX&UST combination.
