Article Abstract

Phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-Seq) is a high-throughput platform that uses programmable phage display for serology. VirScan, a specific PhIP-Seq library encoding viral peptides from all known human viruses, enables comprehensive quantification of past viral exposures. We review its use in immune-mediated diseases (IMDs), highlighting its utility in identifying viral exposures in the context of IMD development. Finally, we evaluate its potential for precision medicine by integrating it with other large-scale omics data sets.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus poses a continuing global public health threat due to its outbreaks in poultry farms and zoonotic transmission from birds to humans. In the quest of effective therapeutics against H5N1 infection, antibodies with broad neutralizing activity have attracted significant attention. In this study, we employed a phage display technique to select and identify VHH antibodies with specific neutralizing activity against H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) from an immune llama-derived antibody library.

Anti-idiotypic antibodies (Anti-Ids) possess the properties to mimic the structure and biological activity of an antigen, which can be utilized for preventing and monitoring hazards. In this study, Nb4Mutant6-Anti-Id, which mimics the structure and antibacterial activity of vancomycin, was designed based on phage display antibody library screening and mutagenesis technology. The affinity of Nb4Mutant6-Anti-Id for the coated antigens of Van-pAbs F(ab)2 and inactivated cells was 6.

Purpose: This study aims to develop and validate a novel ACSL4-targeted fluorescent probe to enhance intraoperative visualization of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), emphasizing its binding affinity, specificity, and clinical applicability.

Methods: Transcriptomic sequencing data from TCGA, ICGC, CPTAC, and GSE25097 were analyzed to establish ACSL4 as a viable target for tumor visualization. An ACSL4-specific binding peptide (ABP) was identified using a combination of in vivo and in vitro phage display screening.

Genetically-encoded libraries of peptide-derived macrocycles containing electrophile 'warheads' (cGELs) can be used to identify potent and selective covalent ligands for protein targets. Such cGELs are synthesized either by incorporation of unnatural amino acids that display mild electrophiles on their side chains or by chemical post-translational modification (cPTM) of mRNA or phage-displayed peptide libraries. Here we investigate fundamental barriers to the synthesis of cGELs.
