Abstract: There is provided herein a method for identifying and/or recovering at least one genetically encoded affinity reagent specific for a target molecule by screening using molecular display in conjunction with the sequencing of positive and negative selection pools from the screen.

Abstract: A method is provided for producing a population of genetically modified T cells. In the method, an in vitro population of T cells is activated by contacting said population with a CD3 binding agent. Genetic modification is then carried out with the activated T cells by contacting the same with a suitable gene transfer vector.

Abstract: A weld joint test fixture for testing the strength of a weld joining seve members forming a test specimen is provided. The fixture includes a base which supports the test specimen and an attachment for applying a testing force to the test specimen while the test specimen is supported by the base. The fixture further includes holding elements attached to the base for holding the test specimen on the base during the application of the testing force. The holding elements preferably engage one of the members forming the test specimen without engaging another of the members. The fixture may also include the holding elements being designed to oppose the testing force substantially only by forces directed in a plane parallel to the applied testing force.
