Display libraries on bacteriophage lambda capsid

Biotechnol Annu Rev. 2005:11:153-90. doi: 10.1016/S1387-2656(05)11005-9.

Abstract

Phage display is an established technology that has been successfully applied, in the last fifteen years, to projects aimed at deciphering biological processes and/or at the isolation of molecules of practical value in several diverse applications. Bacteriophage lambda, representing a molecular cloning and expression tool widely utilized since decades, has also been exploited to develop vectors for the display of libraries on its capsid. In the last few years, lambda display approach has been consistently offering new enthralling perspectives of technological application, such as domain mapping, antigen discovery, and protein interaction studies or, more generally, in functional genomics.
