Phage display as a promising approach for vaccine development

Puzzling Peptides from a Phage Display Library

The commercial availability of random peptide libraries displayed on the M13 phage is increasing their use forstudies on epitope identification, enzyme inhibitors, receptor ligands, etc. In this study two experimentswhere planned for selection of peptides. First with sheep antibodies, the positive selector was IgG, preparedon Protein G column from a pool of 11 sheeps immunized...

Phage Display and Synthetic Peptides as Promising Biotechnological Tools for the Serological Diagnosis of Leprosy

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of leprosy is primarily based on clinical manifestations, and there is no widely available laboratory test for the early detection of this disease, which is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. In fact, early detection and treatment are the key elements to the successful control of leprosy. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Peptide ligands for antibodies from leprosy patients...

In crossing a heath, suppose...I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place....[T]he inference, we think, is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker: that there must have existed...an artificer or artificers, who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer; who comprehended its construction and designed its ...
