It is shown explicitly that G-quadruplex formation in DNA is modulated during cell-cycle progression and that endogenous G- quadruplex DNA structures can be stabilized by a small-molecule ligand and corroborate the application of stabilizing ligands in a cellular context to target G- Quadruplexes and intervene with their function.
Phage antibodies: filamentous phage displaying antibody variable domains
- J. McCafferty, A. Griffiths, G. Winter, D. Chiswell
- BiologyNature
- 6 December 1990
It is shown that complete antibody V domains can be displayed on the surface of fd bacteriophage, that the phage bind specifically to antigen and that rare phage can be isolated after affinity chromatography.
Human Antibodies with Sub-nanomolar Affinities Isolated from a Large Non-immunized Phage Display Library
- T. Vaughan, A. J. Williams, K. S. Johnson
- BiologyNature Biotechnology
- 1 March 1996
This work shows that conventional hybridoma technology may be superseded by large phage libraries that are proving to be a stable and reliable source of specific, high affinity human monoclonal antibodies.
Phage display of peptides and proteins : a laboratory manual
- B. Kay, J. Winter, J. McCafferty
- Biology
- 1996
The filamentous bacteriophage is a cDNA cloning system based on filamentous phage - selection and enrichment of functional gene products by protein/ligand interactions made possible by linkage of recognition and replication functions.
Production of soluble mammalian proteins in Escherichia coli: identification of protein features that correlate with successful expression
- M. Dyson, S. Shadbolt, K. J. Vincent, R. L. Perera, J. McCafferty
- BiologyBMC Biotechnology
- 14 December 2004
Analysis of the protein features identified here will help predict which mammalian proteins and domains can be successfully expressed in E. coli as soluble product and also which are best targeted for a eukaryotic expression system.
Application of phage display to high throughput antibody generation and characterization

The amenability of in vitro display to high-throughput applications broadens the prospects for their wider use in basic and applied research.
Thiol isomerases negatively regulate the cellular shedding activity of ADAM17.
- S. Willems, C. Tape, G. Murphy
- BiologyBiochemical Journal
- 15 June 2010
This work has utilized a cell-based ADAM17 assay to show that thiol isomerases, specifically PDI (protein disulfide isomerase), could be responsible for maintainingADAM17 in an inactive form.
Cross-domain inhibition of TACE ectodomain
- C. Tape, S. Willems, G. Murphy
- BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 17 March 2011
The bespoke development of a specific TACE inhibitory human antibody using “two-step” phage display is reported, which is a previously undescribed selective TACE antagonist and provides a unique alternative to small-molecule metalloprotease inhibition.
