Abstract
A modified filamentous phage that contains a gene for a wild type phage coat protein and a gene for a synthetic phage coat protein is provided. Uses of the modified phage and kits containing the phage are also provided.
Claims2
A modified filamentous phage expression vector comprising a gene encoding a wild type major coat protein of the phage;
- a leaky, inducible promoter;
- a gene encoding a synthetic major coat protein of the phage;
- and a directional cloning site for receiving an insert that comprises a ribosome binding site encoding region, a leader sequence that directs polypeptide expression to a bacterial periplasmic membrane and a polypeptide encoding region, wherein the directional cloning site is situated between the promoter and the gene encoding the synthetic major coat protein of the phage wherein the vector is designated JC-M13-88.
