Definitions for "Phage display"
A technique that fuses peptides to capsid proteins on the phage surface. Libraries of phage-displayed peptides may be screened for binding to specific ligands; determination of the gene sequence of the selected phage identifies the peptide sequence.
a method utilizing solid support interactions
Phage display vectors express the inserted DNA as a protein at a prominent position on their capsid. This allows capture and isolation of recombinant phage clones by immobilised interacting proteins (eg. antibodies). This screening method is called biopanning.
