Expression cloning of cDNA by phage display selection.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Expression cloning of a mouse kappa chain fragment has been achieved from a cDNA library by display of expressed proteins on filamentous phage and affinity selection for binding to anti-mouse Fab antibodies. Expressed proteins were anchored to the phage coat by a synthetic, anti-parallel leucine zipper, which had been selected from a semi-randomized zipper library for the ability to connect a test protein to phage. From a library of 4 x 10(6) transformants, two separate clones displaying different size cDNA inserts were recovered after four selection rounds. These results further demonstrate the utility of phage display for cDNA expression cloning.
