PHAGE DISPLAY AFFINITY AND SPECIFICITY FILTERS AND FORWARD SCREEN

摘要

The invention provides an affinity filter for the binding of phage-displayed proteins to dissolved target molecules. The phage-displayed proteins are contacted with immobilized target in the presence and absence of dissolved target; the behavior of the phage-displayed proteins as a function of concentration of dissolved target permits approximation of the affinity of t he phage-displayed protein for target. The invention also provides a method to screen large numbers of compounds for their ability to complete with a compound known to bind a phage-displayed protein.
