Identification of residues in beta-lactamase critical for binding beta-lactamase inhibitory protein. (1/356)

beta-Lactamase inhibitory protein (BLIP) is a potent inhibitor of several beta-lactamases including TEM-1 beta-lactamase (Ki = 0.1 nM). The co-crystal structure of TEM-1 beta-lactamase and BLIP has been solved, revealing the contact residues involved in the interface between the enzyme and inhibitor. To determine which residues in TEM-1 beta-lactamase are critical for binding BLIP, the method of monovalent phage display was employed. Random mutants of TEM-1 beta-lactamase in the 99-114 loop-helix and 235-240 B3 beta-strand regions were displayed as fusion proteins on the surface of the M13 bacteriophage. Functional mutants were selected based on the ability to bind BLIP. After three rounds of enrichment, the sequences of a collection of functional beta-lactamase mutants revealed a consensus sequence for the binding of BLIP. Seven loop-helix residues including Asp-101, Leu-102, Val-103, Ser-106, Pro-107, Thr-109, and His-112 and three B3 beta-strand residues including Ser-235, Gly-236, and Gly-238 were found to be critical for tight binding of BLIP. In addition, the selected beta-lactamase mutants A113L/T114R and E240K were found to increase binding of BLIP by over 6- and 11-fold, respectively. Combining these substitutions resulted in 550-fold tighter binding between the enzyme and BLIP with a Ki of 0.40 pM. These results reveal that the binding between TEM-1 beta-lactamase and BLIP can be improved and that there are a large number of sequences consistent with tight binding between BLIP and beta-lactamase.  (+info)

Gene transfer to mammalian cells using genetically targeted filamentous bacteriophage. (2/356)

We have genetically modified filamentous bacteriophage to deliver genes to mammalian cells. In previous studies we showed that noncovalently attached fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) can target bacteriophage to COS-1 cells, resulting in receptor-mediated transduction with a reporter gene. Thus, bacteriophage, which normally lack tropism for mammalian cells, can be adapted for mammalian cell gene transfer. To determine the potential of using phage-mediated gene transfer as a novel display phage screening strategy, we transfected COS-1 cells with phage that were engineered to display FGF2 on their surface coat as a fusion to the minor coat protein, pIII. Immunoblot and ELISA analysis confirmed the presence of FGF2 on the phage coat. Significant transduction was obtained in COS-1 cells with the targeted FGF2-phage compared with the nontargeted parent phage. Specificity was demonstrated by successful inhibition of transduction in the presence of excess free FGF2. Having demonstrated mammalian cell transduction by phage displaying a known gene targeting ligand, it is now feasible to apply phage-mediated transduction as a screen for discovering novel ligands.  (+info)

Selection-dominant and nonaccessible epitopes on cell-surface receptors revealed by cell-panning with a large phage antibody library. (3/356)

To generate antibodies to defined cell-surface antigens, we used a large phage antibody fragment library to select on cell transfectants expressing one of three chosen receptors. First, in vitro panning procedures and phage antibody screening ELISAs were developed using whole live cells stably expressing the antigen of interest. When these methodologies were applied to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing one of the receptors for a neuropeptide, somatostatin, using either direct cell panning or a strategy of depletion or ligand-directed elution, many different pan-CHO-cell binders were selected, but none was receptor specific. However, when using direct panning on CHO-cells expressing the human membrane protein CD36, an extraordinary high frequency of antigen-specific phage antibodies was found. Panning on myoblasts expressing the rat homologue of CD36 revealed a similar selection dominance for anti-(CD36). Binding of all selected 20 different anti-(CD36) phage was surprisingly inhibited by one anti-(CD36) mAb CLB-IVC7, which recognizes a functional epitope that is also immunodominant in vivo. Similar inhibition was found for seven anti-(rat) CD36 that cross-reacted with human CD36. Our results show that, although cells can be used as antigen carriers to select and screen phage antibodies, the nature of the antigen target has a profound effect on the outcome of the selection.  (+info)

Identification of peroxisomal proteins by using M13 phage protein VI phage display: molecular evidence that mammalian peroxisomes contain a 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase. (4/356)

To elucidate unknown mammalian peroxisomal enzymes and functions, we subjected M13 phage expressing fusions between the gene encoding protein VI and a rat liver cDNA library to an immunoaffinity selection process in vitro (biopanning) with the use of antibodies raised against peroxisomal subfractions. In an initial series of biopanning experiments, four different cDNA clones were obtained. These cDNA species encoded two previously identified peroxisomal enzymes, catalase and urate oxidase, and two novel proteins that contained a C-terminal peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS1). A primary structure analysis of these novel proteins revealed that one, ending in the tripeptide AKL, is homologous to the yeast peroxisomal 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.34; DCR), an enzyme required for the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids, and that the other, ending in the tripeptide SRL, is a putative member of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family, with three isoforms. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusions encoding GFP-DCR-AKL, GFP-DCR, GFP-SDR-SRL and GFP-SDR were expressed in mammalian cells. The analysis of the subcellular location of the recombinant fusion proteins confirmed the peroxisomal localization of GFP-DCR-AKL and GFP-SDR-SRL, as well as the functionality of the PTS1. That the AKL protein is indeed an NADPH-dependent DCR was demonstrated by showing DCR activity of the bacterially expressed protein. These results demonstrate at the molecular level that mammalian peroxisomes do indeed contain a DCR. In addition, the results presented here indicate that the protein VI display system is suitable for the isolation of rare cDNA clones from cDNA libraries and that this technology facilitates the identification of novel peroxisomal proteins.  (+info)

Peptide ligands to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 gp120 identified from phage display libraries. (5/356)

We have used phage-displayed peptide libraries to identify novel ligands to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein gp120. Screening of libraries of random 12-mers, 7-mers, and cyclic 9-mers produced two families of gp120 binding peptides. Members of a family with the prototype sequence RINNIPWSEAMM (peptide 12p1) inhibit the interaction between gp120 and both four-domain soluble CD4 (4dCD4) and monoclonal antibody (MAb) 17b, a neutralizing antibody that covers the chemokine receptor binding surface on gp120. Peptide 12p1 inhibits the interaction of 4dCD4 with gp120 from three different HIV strains, implying that it binds to a conserved site on gp120. Members of a second family of peptides, with the prototype sequence TSPYEDWQTYLM (peptide 12p2), bind more weakly to gp120. They do not detectably affect its interaction with 4dCD4, but they enhance its binding to MAb 17b. A common sequence motif in the two peptide families and cross-competition for gp120 binding suggest that they have overlapping contacts. Their divergent effects on the affinity of gp120 for MAb 17b may indicate that their binding stabilizes distinct conformational states of gp120. The functional properties of 12p1 suggest that it might be a useful lead for the development of inhibitors of HIV entry.  (+info)

Peptide ligands that bind IgM antibodies and block interaction with antigen. (6/356)

We have selected a peptide-display phage library on IgM Abs and identified a panel of phage-expressing peptides that bind to IgM Abs in general, but not to Abs of other classes. A synthetic peptide corresponding to one of the displayed peptide sequences also binds to IgM Abs. The peptides bind to both soluble pentameric Abs and to monomeric cell-surface IgM. The phage-displayed and synthetic peptides inhibit the binding of IgM Abs to Ag. These peptides may create confounding artifacts when IgM Abs are used for epitope mapping studies. Nonetheless, the peptides may have both experimental and therapeutic utility.  (+info)

Selection of a C5a receptor antagonist from phage libraries attenuating the inflammatory response in immune complex disease and ischemia/reperfusion injury. (7/356)

A C5a-receptor antagonist was selected from human C5a phage display libraries in which the C terminus of des-Arg74-hC5a was mutated. The selected molecule is a competitive C5a receptor antagonist in vitro and in vivo. Signal transduction is interrupted at the level of G-protein activation. In addition, the antagonist does not cause any C5a receptor phosphorylation. Proinflammatory properties such as chemotaxis or lysosomal enzyme release of differentiated U937 cells, as well as C5a-induced changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentration of murine peritoneal macrophages, are inhibited. The in vivo efficacy was evaluated in three different animal models of immune complex diseases in mice, i.e., the reverse passive Arthus reaction in the peritoneum, skin, and lung. The i.v. application of the C5a receptor antagonist abrogated polymorphonuclear neutrophil accumulation in peritoneum and markedly attenuated polymorphonuclear neutrophil migration into the skin and the lung. In a model of intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury, i.v. administration of the C5a receptor antagonist decreased local and remote tissue injury: bowel wall edema and hemorrhage as well as pulmonary microvascular dysfunction. These data give evidence that C5a is an important mediator triggering the inflammatory sequelae seen in immune complex diseases and ischemia/reperfusion injury. The selected C5a receptor antagonist may prove useful to attenuate the inflammatory response in these disorders.  (+info)

New inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori urease holoenzyme selected from phage-displayed peptide libraries. (8/356)

Urease is an important virulence factor for Helicobacter pylori and is critical for bacterial colonization of the human gastric mucosa. Specific inhibition of urease activity has been proposed as a possible strategy to fight this bacteria which infects billions of individual throughout the world and can lead to severe pathological conditions in a limited number of cases. We have selected peptides which specifically bind and inhibit H. pylori urease from libraries of random peptides displayed on filamentous phage in the context of pIII coat protein. Screening of a highly diverse 25-mer combinatorial library and two newly constructed random 6-mer peptide libraries on solid phase H. pylori urease holoenzyme allowed the identification of two peptides, 24-mer TFLPQPRCSALLRYLSEDGVIVPS and 6-mer YDFYWW that can bind and inhibit the activity of urease purified from H. pylori. These two peptides were chemically synthesized and their inhibition constants (Ki) were found to be 47 microM for the 24-mer and 30 microM for the 6-mer peptide. Both peptides specifically inhibited the activity of H. pylori urease but not that of Bacillus pasteurii.  (+info)

The major coat protein of bacteriophage M13 is synthesized as a precursor, the procoat, with a typical leader (signal) sequence of 23 residues at its NH2-terminus. A fusion protein that contains the NH2-terminal 141 residues of cytoplasmic ribulokinase and all but the first ten residues of M13 procoat was made. The fusion protein inserts into the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli and is processed by leader peptidase to give rise to a leader peptide of 155 residues and the mature coat protein of 50 residues. The NH2-terminus of the leader peptide remains in the cytoplasm and is protected from protease added to the medium outside of the cell. This indicates that M13 procoat inserts into the membrane as a loop structure and that the NH2-terminus of a leader peptide remains within the cytoplasm during membrane insertion. ...
With a mass of ~1.6 x 107 Daltons and com- posed of approximately 2700 proteins, bacteriophage M13 has been employed as a molecular scaffold in bionanomaterials fabrication. In order to extend the versatility of M13 in this area, residue-specific unnatural amino acid incorporation was employed to successfully display azide functionalities on specific solvent-exposed positions of the pVIII major sheath protein of this bacteriophage. Employing a combination of engineered mutants of the gene coding for the pVIII protein, the methionine (Met) analog, L-azidohomoalanine (Aha), and a suitable Escherichia coli Met auxotroph for phage pro- duction, conditions were developed to produce M13 bacteri- ophage labeled with over 350 active azides (estimated by fluorescent dye labeling utilizing a strain-promoted azide- alkyne cycloaddition) and capable of azide-selective attach- ment to 5 nm gold nanoparticles as visualized by transmis- sion electron microscopy. The capability of this system to undergo dual ...

Our libraries developed from precision DNA fragments have enabled us to generate a peptide phage display system with unmatched complexity.
Having been researching in the field of phage display technology for years, Creative Biolabs is able to offer a series of comprehensive phage display library screening services by its own biopanning strategies and enhanced equipments.. Phage display technology is one of the major approaches applied in various protein interaction studies, especially in the discovery of specific antibodies, scaffolds and ligands. As binders with the desired specificity generally exist at low frequencies in the constructed libraries, phage display library screening has become an effective technique for the enrichment and identification of binders with high affinity and specificity from interested libraries.. Libraries from customized library construction services, in-house premade antibody libraries, peptide libraries or scaffold libraries, libraries provided by clients and other commercialized libraries can all be screened in Creative Biolabs.. No matter its purified or unpurified targets, we can screen for ...
In vivo screening of phage-displayed peptide libraries has revealed extensive molecular differences in the blood vessels of individual normal tissues. Pathological lesions also put their signature on the vasculature; in tumours, both blood and lymphatic vessels differ from normal vessels. The changes that characterize tumour blood vessels include selective expression of certain integrins. Peptides isolated by in vivo phage display for homing to tumours have been shown to be useful in directing therapeutic agents to experimental tumours. The targeting can enhance the efficacy of the therapy while reducing side effects. Phage screening has also revealed lung-specific vascular markers that promote tumour metastasis to the lungs by mediating specific adherence of tumour cells to the lung vasculature. These phage-screening studies have revealed a previously unsuspected degree of vascular specialization and provide potentially useful guidance devices for targeted therapies.. ...
Since the advent of phage display technology, dating back to 1985, antibody libraries displayed on filamentous phage surfaces have been used to identify specific binders for many different purposes, including the recognition of tumors. Phage display represents a high-throughput technique for screening billions of random fusion antibodies against virtually any target on the surface or inside cancer cells, or even soluble markers found in patient serum. Many phage display derived binders targeting important tumor markers have been identified. Selection directed to tumoral cells surfaces lead to the identification of unknown tumoral markers. Also the improvement of methods that require smaller amounts of cells has opened the possibility to use this approach on patient samples. Robust techniques combining an antibody library displayed on the phage surface and protein microarray allowed the identification of auto antibodies recognized by patient sera. Many Ab molecules directly or indirectly targeting
628 Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common cancers among Chinese living in South China, Taiwan and Singapore. For treatment of NPC, although radiotherapy, surgical removal, and chemotherapy have been applied for decades and the 5 year survival rate in the advanced cases are still below 75 %. Much effort using other methods such as high dose chemotherapy plus bone marrow stem cell injection and other targeting therapy are needed to control this cancer. In the present experiment, we used random peptide phage display libraries to identify and isolate a specific novel peptide from NPC cell line for targeting drug delivery. After subtraction with control epithelial cells for 3 times, the remained phage libraries were biopanning on NPC-TW04 cells for 5 rounds. It was found that 44 selected phage clones could specifically bind to NPC cell surface. When ELISA was used to verify those clones, 16 phage clones showed higher affinity to NPC cells and were subjected to DNA sequencing. The ...

The time frame for taking action and reporting SSBA handling to the department is within two business days (the exception to this is the Regular Report). This time frame means that if you receive an SSBA or suspected SSBA on Monday you must take action (e.g. register to handle, transfer or destroy the SSBA) and report the action taken no later than close of business on Wednesday (Monday is considered the date of receipt and is therefore excluded in the two-business-day calculation). Similarly, if you receive an SSBA or suspected SSBA on Saturday you are not required to report or take action until close of business Wednesday (as the SSBA was received on Saturday, Monday is considered the date of receipt and is therefore excluded in the two-businessday calculation). During this time you must comply with the relevant parts of the SSBA Standards ...
The first step to producing our specially designed enzymes was to change the wild-type gene that codes for Kumamolisin to code instead for variant enzymes with our desired amino acid substitutions. We designed mutagenic oligonucleotide primers that would anneal to the wild-type Kumamolisin gene and incorporate point mutations that, when expressed, would result in a variant of Kumamolisin with the desired amino acid shift. To incorporate these mutations, we first isolated single stranded DNA (ssDNA) of our vector harboring the wild-type Kumamolisin gene. To do this we infected cells with bacteriophage M13, which packages its own ssDNA genome identified by length, and so in tandem packaged our vector in single stranded form. We then harvested the phage from the lysed culture of E. coli, and extracted our single stranded vector DNA. Next, we annealed and extended our mutagenic oligos to incorporate the specified mutations into the newly synthesized antisense strand. This hybrid vector was ...

Bacteriophage M13 major coat protein has been incorporated at different lipid/protein ratios in lipid bilayers consisting of various ratios of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) to dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG). Spin-label ESR experiments were performed with phospholipids labeled at the C-14 position of the sn-2 chain. For M13 coat protein recombinants with DMPC alone, the relative association constants were determined for the phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidic acid spin-labels and found to be 1.0, 1.0, and 2.1 relative to the background DMPC, respectively. The number of association sites for each phospholipid on the protein was found to be 4 per protein monomer. The intrinsic off-rates for lipid exchange at the intramembranous surface of the protein in DMPC alone at 30 degrees C were found to be 5 X 10(6), 6 X 10(6), and 2 X 10(6) s-1 for the phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidic acid spin-labels, respectively.

article{c02feb63-0c75-498d-9b63-6043d6df0ab2, abstract = {Background: Phage Display technology is a well established technique for high throughput screening of affinity ligands. Here we describe a new compact chromato-panning procedure for selection of suitable binders from a phage peptide display library. Results: Both phages and E. coli cells pass non-hindered through the interconnected pores of macroporous gel, so called cryogel. After coupling a ligand to a monolithic cryogel column, the phage library was applied on the column and non-bound phages were washed out. The selection of strong phage-binders was achieved already after the first panning cycle due to the efficient separation of phage-binders from phage-non-binders in chromatographic mode rather than in batch mode as in traditional biopanning procedures. E. coli cells were applied on the column for infection with the specifically bound phages. Conclusion: Chromato-panning allows combining several steps of the panning procedure ...
Synthesis of Single-stranded DNA Probes of Heterogeneous Length from Bacteriophage M13 Templates Technique yields a heterogeneous population of short radiolabeled molecules 200-300 nucleotides in length. These probes are synthesized, as in Synthesis of Single-stranded DNA Probes of Defined Length from Bacteriophage M13 Templates, by extension of an oligonucleotide primer on a single-stranded DNA template. The radiolabeled products of the reaction are then separated from the template by electrophoresis through a denaturing gel from which they are eluted directly into hybridization buffer. ...
Description of Phage Display (from New England Biolabs). Phage display describes a selection technique in which a peptide or protein is expressed as a fusion with a coat protein of a bacteriophage, resulting in display of the fused protein on the exterior surface of the phage virion, while the DNA encoding the fusion resides within the virion. Phage display has been used to create a physical linkage between a vast library of random peptide sequences to the DNA encoding each sequence, allowing rapid identification of peptide ligands for a variety of target molecules (antibodies, enzymes, cell-surface receptors, etc.) by an in vitro selection process called biopanning.. In its simplest form, biopanning is carried out by incubating a library of phage-displayed peptides with a plate (or bead) coated with the target, washing away the unbound phage, and eluting the specifically-bound phage. (Alternatively the phage can be reacted with the target in solution, followed by affinity capture of the ...

N ew versions of the pADL phagemid vectors pADL-20b, pADL-22b, and pADL-23b are now available. The sequence of the Amp(R) gene sequence has been modified, allowing the cloning site to be opened by either SfiI or BglI restriction enzyme. This modification results in lower background during cloning and brings more flexibility for designing libraries. The pADL vector series is a collection of phagemid vectors for controlled display on the minor coat protein III which combines HIS tag for purification, epitope tag for detection and amber stop codon for conditional display. Expression of the fusion protein is tightly controlled, eliminating issues with toxic clones and library misrepresentation.. ...

The aim of this work was to verify the possibility of applying affinity chromatography in bacteriophage purification, from the perspective of therapeutic purposes. Elution profiles of phages modified with specific affinity motifs (Figures 3,4,5 and 6) show substantially higher phage concentration in elution fractions compared to final washing samples. This indicates binding of modified phages to the affinity resins and effective elution with standard competitive agents. Thus, affinity tags can be successfully incorporated into the T4 phage capsid by the in vivo phage display technique and they strongly elevate bacteriophage affinity to a specific resin. Non-specific binding was also observed: unmodified phages or those modified with the non-specific tag were eluted with the titre 104-105 pfu/ml. Nevertheless, the unspecific binding is 102-105 times weaker than the specific one and importantly it does not interfere with the aim of preparation of purified anti-bacterial active bacteriophages for ...
A phagemid or phasmid is a plasmid that contains an f1 origin of replication from an f1 phage. It can be used as a type of cloning vector in combination with filamentous phage M13. A phagemid can be replicated as a plasmid, and also be packaged as single stranded DNA in viral particles. Phagemids contain an origin of replication (ori) for double stranded replication, as well as an f1 ori to enable single stranded replication and packaging into phage particles. Many commonly used plasmids contain an f1 ori and are thus phagemids. Similarly to a plasmid, a phagemid can be used to clone DNA fragments and be introduced into a bacterial host by a range of techniques, such as transformation and electroporation. However, infection of a bacterial host containing a phagemid with a helper phage, for example VCSM13 or M13K07, provides the necessary viral components to enable single stranded DNA replication and packaging of the phagemid DNA into phage particles. The helper phage infects the bacterial ...
During PACE, host E. coli cells flow continuously into a fixed-volume vessel (a lagoon) containing a population of filamentous bacteriophages that encode a library of evolving proteins. The lagoon is continuously drained to a waste container after passing through an in-line luminescence monitor that measures expression from a gene III-luciferase cassette on the AP. Dilution occurs faster than cell division but slower than phage replication. Each phage carries a protein-encoding gene to be evolved instead of a phage gene (gene III) that is required for infection. Phage encoding active library members trigger expression of gene III on the AP in proportion to the desired activity and consequently produce infectious progeny. Phage encoding less active library members produce fewer infectious progeny and are lost by dilution. From: Nat. Chem. Biol. 10, 216-222 (2014). PDF. ...
mAbs. Col-1, an immunoglobulin G (IgG)-2a mAb, was purchased from Zymed. The isotype control IgG2a was obtained from Sigma and used as a control antibody.. Phage library and biopanning. Three successive rounds of biopanning with the anti-CEA antibody Col-1 were done with two pIII-display peptide phage libraries: CL10 and LL9. CL10 expresses cysteine-flanked decapeptides circularized by disulfide bridges and LL9 comprises nine linear peptides. The libraries were applied separately or pooled for biopannings. They were kindly provided by Prof. Dr. Luca Mazzucchelli (University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland; ref. 18). Biopannings were done as outlined in ref. 19, with slight modifications. In short, ELISA plates (Nunc) were coated with 40 μg/mL Col-1 in bicarbonate buffer (pH 8.5). Wells were blocked with PBS/1% dry milk and incubated with an aliquot of the phage library (∼5 × 1010 phage particles) in PBS/1% dry milk/0.1% Tween 20 at 37°C and 4°C for 1 h each.

Using conventional manual methods, it is laborious to perform multiple selections with different antigens simultaneously. Furthermore, manual screening of the positive clones requires much effort. The authors describe optimized and automated procedures of these processes using a magnetic bead processor for the selection and a robotic station for the screening step. Both steps are performed in a 96-well microplate format. In addition, adopting the antibody phage display technology to automated platform polyethylene glycol precipitation of the enriched phage pool was unnecessary. For screening, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ...
Transposable elements have emerged as a promising candidate for human non-viral gene-therapy. The Tc1/mariner transposon Sleeping Beauty is to date one of the most efficient transposons in mammals. Sleeping Beauty transposase has so far mostly been delivered to cells via a DNA source. This might cause spontaneous integration of the transposase gene and cause fatal damage to the affected cell. Hence, it would be advantageous to employ a non-genetic source for the transposase. We here show that a novel Cell-penetrating peptide, M918, has the ability to facilitate cellular delivery of both the transposase Sleeping Beauty as a protein and a transposon donor-plasmid carrying an antibiotic resistance gene in vitro. The technique is a simple and straightforward one-step method that might render a safe and efficient delivery platform for Sleeping Beauty mediated gene therapy.. ...

Phage display has become an established, widely used method for selection of peptides, antibodies or alternative scaffolds. The use of phage display for the selection of antigens from genomic or cDNA libraries of pathogens which is an alternative to the classical way of identifying immunogenic proteins is not well-known. In recent years several new applications for oligopeptide phage display in disease related fields have been developed which has led to the identification of various new antigens. These novel identified immunogenic proteins provide new insights into host pathogen interactions and can be used for the development of new diagnostic tests and vaccines. In this review we focus on the M13 oligopeptide phage display system for pathogen research but will also give examples for lambda phage display and for applications in other disease related fields. In addition, a detailed technical work flow for the identification of immunogenic oligopeptides using the pHORF system is given. The described
Culture colony of the bacteriophage M13, used as a source of DNA fragments containing the Sry (sex- determining region Y) gene, the switch that redirects mammalian development from its usual pathway - female - to male. Joint research by the Medical Research Council & Imperial Cancer Research Fund showed that some normal, chromosomally-female mice embryos developed as males with testes following their injection with a small 14-kilobase fragment of DNA containing Sry. The DNA for Sry was released from its phage vector by digestion with a restriction enzyme, isolated by gel electrophoresis (part of the autoradiogram is shown here) & then purified. - Stock Image G210/0328
