Abstrakt: TREM2 has long been implicated as an Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk gene. In this issue of Structure, Szykowska et al. (2021) generate antibody single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) to the immunoglobulin(Ig)-like domain of human TREM2. They present two co-crystalized structures and characterize the functional impact of these scFvs on TREM2.
