  • Protein ligand binding region mapping system
    Patent number: 5464745
    Abstract: A method for determining the nucleic acid sequence that encodes ligand binding domain on any protein encoded by a known gene includes the steps of non-specifically cleaving the coding region of the known gene, size-selecting the cleavage products, cloning the size-selected gene products into an expression vector active in a heterologous host, using a novel cloning strategy expressing the peptides produced by the clones and screening for clones that produce peptides that interact with an antibody or ligand of interest.
