PCT No. PCT/GB93/00605 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 18, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 18, 1994 PCT Filed Mar. 24, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/19172 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 30, 1993Methods, recombinant host cells and kits are disclosed for the production of members of specific binding pairs (sbp), e.g. antibodies, using display on the surface of secreted replicable genetic display packages (rgdps), e.g. filamentous phage. To produce a library of great diversity, recombination occurs between first and second vectors comprising nucleic acid encoding first and second polypeptide chains of sbp members respectively, thereby producing recombinant vectors each encoding both a first and a second polypeptide chain component of an sbp member. The recombination may take place in vitro or intracellularly and may be site-specific, e.g. involving use of the loxP sequence and mutants thereof. Recombination may take place after prior screening or selecting for rgdps displaying sbp members which bind complementary sbp member of interest. |
