Vectors for cloning and expression of proteins, methods and applications thereof

The present disclosure relates to vectors for cloning and expressing genetic material including but not limiting to antibody gene or parts thereof and methods of generating said vectors. Said vectors express the antibody genes in different formats such as Fab or scFv as a part of intertransfer system, intratransfer system or direct cloning and expression in individual display systems. In particular, phage display technology is used to clone and screen potential antibody genes in phagemid which is followed by the transfer of said genes to yeast vector for further screening and identification of lead molecules against antigens. The present vectors have numerous advantages including uniquely designed inserts/expression cassettes resulting in efficient and smooth transfer of clonal population from phage to yeast vectors resulting in efficient library preparation and identification of lead molecules.

Method for separating, capturing, analyzing and retrieving cells and cell products by using microstructure
