Surface display of antigenic epitopes and mimotopes on filamentous phage

Library	Screened against	Results	Refs
12mer RPL displayed on pIII	Polyclonal sera specific for Burkholderia pseudomallei protease	Identification of linear and discontinuous protease epitopes of B. pseudomallei	[49]
7mer RPLs displayed on pIII	Purified anti-Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae IgG	Identification of M. hyopneumoniae antigens. Phage clones identified by screening induced immune responses in murine model	[50]
12mer RPL displayed on pIII	Monoclonal IgA1 specific for the capsule of Streptococcus pneumoniae	Identification of mimotopes of the capsular polysaccharide of type 8 S. pneumoniae. When conjugated to tetanus toxoid, mimotopes induced a type 8 capsular-polysaccharide-specific antibody response in mice	[51]
7mer RPL displayed on pIII	Sera from swine infected with Nipah virus	Identification of several putative epitopes within the nucleocapsid protein of Nipah virus	[52]
12mer RPL displayed on pIII	Polyclonal IgG specific for neutral polysaccharides of Mycoplasma tuberculosis	Isolation of phage clones that were antigenic mimotopes of B-cell epitopes of M. tuberculosis sugars. One clone invoked immune responses in rabbits	[53]
