Phage Display

Phage display is a laboratory technique in which researchers use viruses known as bacteriophages (phages) to display items such as proteins and antigens on their surface. The technique is used to study interactions between proteins, such as antibody-antigen binding, and to identify potential new therapeutics and vaccines. The advantage of using phage display over other laboratory techniques is that it enables researchers to rapidly screen a large number of potential therapeutics and vaccines and identify those that bind most effectively. This not only streamlines the process, but also reduces costs and increases the likelihood of success. It is therefore an invaluable tool for drug discovery and has the potential to revolutionize the development of new medicines.
