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 ...

An international study led by researchers from the Department of Medicine and Life Sciences (MELIS) of Pompeu Fabra University and Stanford University (California) has designed a system to identify ...

Immunization with MUC1/X protein enhances cDNA immunization in generating anti-MUC1 alpha/beta junction antibodies that target cancer cells No significant financial relationships to disclose. This is ...

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 ...

Although much effort has been expended on evaluating recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides as immunogens, they have generally proved incapable of inducing an efficient cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) ...
