Summary
Display technologies for protein engineering offer the potential to address various problems in gene targeting. In particular, protein display on the surface of bacteria and yeast coupled with quantitative high-throughput screening using flow cytometry has emerged as a powerful method to select ligands for particular receptors, and improve their binding affinity, specificity, and expression characteristics. Despite the proven usefulness of the widely used bacteriophage display method, cell surface display and cytometric screening offers an expanded range of applications allowing more precise affinity engineering and the display of complex proteins likely to be important for cellular targeting.
