In the early and mid-1980s, scientists used phages to express recombinant proteins. The protein was retained inside the virions, so screening required growing viral plaques, creating a stamp of these ...

Reviewed by Michael Greenwood, M.Sc. In phage-display, a gene encoding the surface protein of a bacteriophage is replaced with a gene encoding a novel protein. The technique can be used in drug ...

Chemists are taking a p[h]age from bacteria's playbook in order to beat viruses at their own game and develop new drugs to fight cancer and a host of other human diseases in the process. Chemists at ...

Company will combine this technology with ribosome display to increase speed and reliability of screening. Scil Proteins acquired a phage-display technology known as Tat Phage display from the German ...

The recently published recommendations of the European Commission Joint Research Centre (JRC) shine a spotlight on the versatility and scientific benefits of universal antibody libraries in ...

From L to R: Frances H. Arnold was recognized for her work in the directed evolution of enzymes, while George P. Smith and Sir Gregory Winter were honored for the phage display of peptides and ...

Phage display is an increasingly popular, robust, and rapid method of antibody identification, particularly for antigens not amenable to antibody discovery using traditional hybridoma technology.

Techniques that put natural evolution on fast-forward to build new proteins in the lab have earned three scientists this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry. Frances Arnold of Caltech won for her method ...

Biosite Inc.’s teamwork with Medarex Inc. in phage display has netted it another deal, this one with Amgen Inc., which will provide “dozens of targets” and pay development and maintenance fees for ...

mRNA display is a technique that can identify proteins which bind to specific regions in DNA. This method has several advantages over other methods, such as yeast-to-hybrid, immunoprecipitation, phage ...
