Protein screening and detection method
The invention relates to a method for identifying and quantifying a polypeptide from a library of polypeptides. The method comprises the steps of: 1providing a polypeptide library and a detection tag library, 2generating a nested library comprising the polypeptides and the detection tags, 3sequencing the nested library, 4selecting a member of the nested library in one or several selection steps that are independent of a physical genotype-phenotype linkage, 5isolating the detection tag from the selected polypeptide, 6identifying and quantifying the detection tag by mass spectrometry, 7obtaining the sequence of the selected polypeptide. The invention also relates to a collection of polypeptides, a collection of detection tags, and a collection of plasmid vectors.
Polyspecificity reagents, methods for their preparation and use
The present invention relates, inter alia, to polyspecificity reagents, methods of making the same, and methods of using the same in, inter alia, the selection, screening, enrichment, and identification of non-polyspecific, and thus developable, polypeptides.
MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES AND METHODS OF USE IN THE FORMATION AND CONTROL OF NANOREACTORS
The present invention provides novel microfluidic devices and methods that are useful for performing high-throughput screening assays and combinatorial chemistry. The invention provides for aqueous based emulsions containing uniquely labeled cells, enzymes, nucleic acids, etc., wherein the emulsions further comprise primers, labels, probes, and other reactants. An oil based carrier-fluid envelopes the emulsion library on a microfluidic device, such that a continuous channel provides for flow of the immiscible fluids, to accomplish pooling, coalescing, mixing, sorting, detection, etc., of the emulsion library.
MHC-BOUND PEPTIDE ARRAYS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
The disclosure provides compositions comprising at least one assembly comprising a peptide and a major histocompatibility complex (MHC), wherein the peptide is an integral component of the MHC, wherein the peptide is attached to a surface at its C-terminus through a linker and wherein the peptide is synthesized on the surface. In certain embodiments, the compositions comprise a plurality of assemblies in a spatially-ordered array. The disclosure provides methods for making and using these compositions.
Methods for the selection of binding proteins
This application provides an improved screening method for the selection of target-binding proteins having desirable biophysical properties. The method combines mRNA display and yeast surface display in a way that takes advantage of the desirable attributes of both processes.
ARTIFICIAL ANTIBODY POLYPEPTIDES
The present invention provides a fibronectin type III (Fn3) molecule, wherein the Fn3 contains a stabilizing mutation. The present invention also provides Fn3 polypeptide monobodies, nucleic acid molecules encoding monobodies, and variegated nucleic acid libraries encoding such monobodies. Also provided are methods of preparing a Fn3 polypeptide monobody, and kits to perform the methods.
LIGAND INDUCIBLE POLYPEPTIDE COUPLER SYSTEM
The invention relates to a novel ligand inducible polypeptide coupling system and methods of modulating cell signal transduction pathways and other intracellular and extracellular protein-protein interactions.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXPRESSING PROTEINS
The present disclosure relates to method and compositions for generating proteins. In particular, the present disclosure relates to electroporation mediated gene delivery in the generation of recombinant proteins (e.g., drug metabolizing enzyme and transporter vesicles) in mammalian cells.
CANCER ANTIGEN TARGETS AND USES THEREOF
The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods and compositions for treating myeloid disorders (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia (AML)). It relates to immunoresponsive cells bearing antigen recognizing receptors (e.g., chimeric antigen receptors (CARs)) targeting AML-specific antigens.
MULTIPLEX ANALYSIS OF SINGLE CELL CONSTITUENTS
The present invention relates to methods for high multiplex protein or cellular constituent analysis in single cells or single isolated aggregations of cellular constituents. The methods provide for embedding cells or isolated aggregations of cellular constituents in a hydrogel mesh and labeling of cellular constituents with labeling ligands linked to a nucleic acid tag. Cellular constituents can be determined using sequencing methods.
