He explained that for phage display to yield usable products, teams using the method need to determine ... Then they transform the plasmids into a bacterial vector and infect it with a helper phage ...

Filamentous bacteriophage fd can display multiple copies of foreign peptides in the N-terminal region of its major coat protein pVIII, 2,700 copies of which make up the virus capsid. Here we show ...

In this issue, Gishizky and coworkers describe yet another use for phage display—a method for mapping protein–protein interactions that is faster than two-hybrid systems and that allows the ...

Scientists insert variable DNA sequences coding for their proteins of interest into plasmids that carry a phage coat protein gene, an antibiotic resistance gene, and a packaging signal. Then they ...
