Abstract
The present invention provides a method for preparing a bacteriophage displaying an antigen-binding molecule, comprising the step of contacting a helper phage capable of expressing a first polypeptide with a bacterium capable of expressing a second polypeptide, wherein the first polypeptide and the second polypeptide associate with each other to form the antigen-binding molecule.
