Description:
The Ph.D.™-12 Phage Display Peptide Library is based on a combinatorial library of random dodecapeptides fused to a minor coat protein (pIII) of M13 phage (1-6). The displayed peptide (12-mer) is expressed at the N-terminus of pIII, i.e., the first residue of the mature protein is the first randomized position. The peptide is followed by a short spacer (Gly-Gly-Gly-Ser) and then the wild-type pIII sequence. The library consists of approximately 2.7 x 109 electroporated sequences amplified once to yield approximately 100 copies of each sequence in 10 µl of the supplied phage.

FAQs


  1. Where can I find many more detailed FAQs for Phage Display Peptide Libraries?
  2. Can a different bacterial strain be used with the Ph.D.™ Phage Display?
  3. No plaques are visible when titering using the Ph.D.™ Phage Display kit.
  4. I am using Ph.D.™ Phage display and the amplified phage titer is low.
  5. I am using Ph.D.™ Phage Display and the phage DNA templates do not yield readable sequence.
  6. I am using Ph.D.™ Phage Display and the sequencing templates do not run where they should on a gel.
  7. I am using Ph.D.™ Phage Display and after 4 or more rounds of panning all clones are wild-type phage (white plaques).
  8. When performing an experiment using Ph.D.™ Phage Display, the ELISA indicates that background binding to the plate is as high as binding to the target.
  9. When using the Ph.D.™ Phage Display, panning yielded a consensus sequence, but no ELISA signal.
  10. I am using Ph.D.™ Phage Display and the streptavidin control experiment did not yield the HPQ consensus sequence.

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Control Panning Experiment::
Approximately 2 x 1011 phage (10 µl) is diluted with 100 µl TBST and is exposed to streptavidin as a target (see The Ph.D.-12 Phage Display Peptide Library Kit Manual). To complex any biotin in the BSA, the blocking reagent is prepared by adding 0.1 µg/ml streptavidin to the standard blocking solution. The bound phage is eluted with 0.1 mM biotin in TBS for at least 30 minutes. After 3 rounds of enrichment/amplification, the consensus sequence for streptavidin-binding peptides was determined to contain the motif: H P Q (6).

Epitope mapping with the Ph.D.-12 Library::
The library was panned against anti-β-endorphin monoclonal antibody in solution, followed by affinity capture of the antibody-phage complexes onto Protein A-agarose (rounds 1 and 3) or Protein G-agarose (round 2). The results clearly show that the epitope for this antibody spans the first 4 residues of β-endorphin (YGGF), with some flexibility allowed in the third position. One clone from round 3 had no insert.



Amino Acid Distribution of the Ph.D.-12™ Library: A total of 106 clones from the naive library were sequenced. Seven clones (7%) did not contain a displayed peptide insert. The overall amino acid distribution from the sequenced codons (1188) is shown above.
