Methods for creating diversity in libraries and libraries, display vectors and methods, and displayed molecules

摘要

Provided herein are methods for generating diverse polypeptide and nucleic acid molecule libraries and collections, and the collections and libraries; methods for selecting variant polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules from the libraries; and molecules selected from the libraries. Exemplary of the polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules are antibodies and nucleic acids encoding the antibodies (including antibody fragments and domain exchanged antibodies). Also provided herein are methods of displaying polypeptides such as antibodies, for example on the surface of genetic packages, such as phage; and libraries and collections of the displayed polypeptides and vectors for producing the displayed polypeptides, libraries and collections. Exemplary of the displayed antibodies are domain exchanged antibodies.
