  • Method and Kit for Generating High Affinity Binding Agents
    Publication number: 20180371451
    Abstract: A combined ribosome-display and phage-display method and kit for carrying out the method are provided. The method includes screening a ribosome-display library of binding agents to identify binding agents that interact with one or more target molecules of interest, converting the RNA encoding the binding agents to a phage-display format by amplification and primer extension, and the screening the phage-display library to enrich for binding agents that interact with one or more target molecules of interest.
