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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mapping the individual amino acids where antibodies bind (epitopes) to target viral proteins (antigens) is crucial to predicting how target proteins may evolve to escape antibody binding, improve ...

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 ...

When a person receives a cancer diagnosis, treatment can often include chemotherapy. This method of treating cancer also can affect healthy cells. But what if there was a drug on the market that, ...

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 ...
