Phage Display

Phage display technology is an in vitro screening technique for identifying ligands for proteins and other macromolecules. At the crux of phage display technology is the ability to express peptide or protein sequences as fusions to the coat proteins of a bacteriophage. Libraries of phage-displayed peptides or proteins are thereby physically linked to their encoding nucleic acid, allowing selection of binding partners for myriad target types by iterative rounds of in vitro panning and amplification, followed by DNA sequencing. Libraries of over a billion members can be screened in a matter of days, offering an efficient alternative to more traditional methods of epitope mapping, receptor ligand identification, or protein evolution.
