Abstract
We have developed a new system for producing hybrid virions of filamentous bacteriophage fd simultaneously displaying two different peptides by infecting cells harbouring a plasmid containing a modified gene VIII with an engineered bacteriophage carrying a second and different copy of a modified gene VIII. The simultaneous display of different peptides has many potential applications in exploring the immune response and studying protein-protein interaction.
