Abstract
Over the last decades, monoclonal antibodies have substantially improved the treatment of several conditions. The continuous search for novel therapeutic targets and improvements in antibody's structure, demands for a constant optimization of their development. In this regard, modulation of an antibody's affinity to its target has been largely explored and culminated in the discovery and optimization of a variety of molecules. It involves the creation of antibody libraries and selection against the target of interest. In this work, we aimed at developing a novel protocol to be used for the affinity maturation of an antibody previously developed by our group. An antibody library was constructed using an in vivo random mutagenesis approach that, to our knowledge, has not been used before for antibody development. Then, a cell-based phage display selection protocol was designed to allow the fast and simple screening of antibody clones capable of being internalized by target cells. Next generation sequencing coupled with computer analysis provided an extensive characterization of the created library and post-selection pool, that can be used as a guide for future antibody development. With a single selection step, an enrichment in the mutated antibody library, given by a decrease in almost 50% in sequence diversity, was achieved, and structural information useful in the study of the antibody-target interaction in the future was obtained.

Abstract
Peptide therapeutics are robust and promising molecules for treating diverse disease conditions. These molecules can be developed from naturally occurring or mimicking native peptides, through rational design and peptide libraries. We developed a new platform for the rapid screening of the peptide therapeutics for disease targets. In the course of the study, we aimed to employ our platform to screen a new generation of peptide therapeutic candidates against aggregation-prone protein targets. Two peptide drug candidates were screened for protein aggregation-prone diseases, namely, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. Currently, there are several therapeutic applications that are only effective in masking or slowing down symptom development. Nonetheless, different approaches are being developed for inhibiting amyloid aggregation in the secondary nucleation phase, which is critical for amyloid fibril formation. Instead of targeting secondary nucleated protein structures, we tried to inhibit the aggregation of monomeric amyloid units as a novel approach for halting the disease condition. To achieve this, we combined yeast surface display and phage display library platforms. We expressed α-synuclein, amyloid β40, and amyloid β42 on the yeast surface, and we selected peptides by using phage display library. After iterative biopanning cycles optimized for yeast cells, several peptides were selected for interaction studies. All of the peptides have been used for in vitro characterization methods, which are quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) measurement, atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging, dot-blotting, and ThT assay, and some of them have yielded promising results in blocking fibrillization. The rest of the peptides, although, interacted with amyloid units which made them usable as a sensor molecule candidate. Therefore, peptides selected by yeast surface display and phage display library combination are good choice for diverse disease-prone molecule inhibition, particularly those inhibiting fibrillization. Additionally, these selected peptides can be used as drugs and sensors to detect diseases quickly and halt disease progression.

Abstract
Phage display is a widely used technique for selecting specific binding peptides, but presenting antigens in their natural form can be challenging, as protein coating may induce structural changes. In this study, we employed a whole cell-based phage display technique without a coating step to select peptides that bind specifically to Daphnia magna eggs. Boiled eggs were used as a control to ensure that antigens were presented in their natural forms. We identified a peptide, DEP1 (LYALPLSHLKSHGGG), with the highest binding affinity to D. magna eggs. DEP1 did not affect zebrafish eggs, but it inhibited normal hatching and reproductive ability in D. magna eggs, and hindered growth in neonates before their first ecdysis. Morphological analysis revealed that DEP1 caused intestinal damage and tissue abnormalities. Our findings demonstrate that the whole cell-based phage display technique is successful in presenting antigens in their natural form, and that the DEP1 peptide can be applied to regulate the growth cycle of D. magna. These results have implications for the use of phage display in environmental research and the potential use of DEP1 for hazardous organisms in aquatic systems.

Abstract
The discovery of hybridoma technology, described by Kohler and Milstein in 1975, and the resulting ability to generate monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) initiated a new era in antibody research and clinical development. However, limitations of the hybridoma technology as a routine antibody generation method in conjunction with high immunogenicity responses have led to the development of alternative approaches for the streamlined identification of most effective antibodies. Within this context, display selection technologies such as phage display, ribosome display, yeast display, bacterial display, and mammalian cell surface display have been widely promoted over the past three decades as ideal alternatives to traditional hybridoma methods. The display of antibodies on phages is probably the most widespread and powerful of these methods and, since its invention in late 1980s, significant technological advancements in the design, construction, and selection of antibody libraries have been made, and several fully human antibodies generated by phage display are currently approved or in various clinical development stages. With evolving novel disease targets and the emerging of a new generation of therapeutic antibodies, such as bispecific antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies, it is clear that phage display is expected to continue to play a central role in antibody development. Nevertheless, for non-standard and more demanding cases aiming to generate best-in-class therapeutic antibodies against challenging targets and unmet medical needs, in vivo phage display selections by which phage libraries are directly injected into animals or humans for isolating and identifying the phages bound to specific tissues offer an advantage over conventional in vitro phage display screening procedures. Thus, in the present review, we will first summarize a general overview of the antibody therapeutic market, the different types of antibody fragments, and novel engineered variants that have already been explored. Then, we will discuss the state-of-the-art of in vivo phage display methodologies as a promising emerging selection strategy for improvement antibody targeting and drug delivery properties.

Abstract
Phage display technology can be used for the discovery of antibodies for research, diagnostic, and therapeutic purposes. In this review, we present and discuss key parameters that can be optimized when performing phage display selection campaigns, including the use of different antibody formats and advanced strategies for antigen presentation, such as immobilization, liposomes, nanodiscs, virus-like particles, and whole cells. Furthermore, we provide insights into selection strategies that can be used for the discovery of antibodies with complex binding requirements, such as targeting a specific epitope, cross-reactivity, or pH-dependent binding. Lastly, we provide a description of specialized phage display libraries for the discovery of bispecific antibodies and pH-sensitive antibodies. Together, these methods can be used to improve antibody discovery campaigns against all types of antigen. Teaser: This review provides an overview of the different strategies that can be exploited to improve the success rate of antibody phage display discovery campaigns, addressing key parameters, such as antigen presentation, selection methodologies, and specialized libraries.

Abstract
Streptococcus suis (S. suis) serotype 2 infection is a problem in the swine industry and responsible for most cases of human infection worldwide. Since current multiplex PCR cannot differentiate between serotypes 2 and 1/2, then serotype-specific antibodies (Abs) are required for serotype identification to confirm infection by serotype 2. This study aimed to generate Abs specific to S. suis serotype 2 by phage display from a human heavy chain variable domain (VH) antibody library. For biopanning, whole cells of S. suis serotype 2 were used as the target antigen. With increasing selection stringency, we could select the VH Abs that specifically bound to a S. suis serotype 2 surface antigen, which was identified as the capsular polysaccharide (CPS). From ELISA analysis, the specific phage clone 47B3 VH with the highest binding activity to S. suis serotype 2 was selected and shown to have no cross-reactivity with S. suis serotypes 1/2, 1, and 14 that shared a common epitope with serotype 2 and occasionally cause infections in human. Moreover, no cross-reactivity with other bacteria that can be found in septic blood specimens was also observed. Then, 47B3 VH was successfully expressed as soluble 47B3 VH in E. coli TG1. The soluble 47B3 VH crude extract was further tested for its binding ability in a dose-dependent ELISA assay. The results indicated that the activity of phage clone 47B3 was still retained even when the Ab occurred in the soluble form. A quellung reaction demonstrated that the soluble 47B3 VH Ab could show bioactivity by differentiation between S. suis serotypes 2 and 1/2. Thus, it will be beneficial to use this VH Ab in the diagnosis of disease or discrimination of S. suis serotypes Furthermore, the results described here could motivate the use of phage display VH platform to produce serotyping antibodies.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is exuberantly becoming a deleterious health problem world-wide. Seeking innovative approaches is necessary in order to circumvent such a hazard. An unconventional fill-in to antibiotics is bacteriophage. Bacteriophages are viruses capable of pervading bacterial cells and disrupting their natural activity, ultimately resulting in their defeat. In this article, we will run-through the historical record of bacteriophage and its correlation with bacteria. We will also delineate the potential of bacteriophage as a therapeutic antibacterial agent, its supremacy over antibiotics in multiple aspects and the challenges that could arise on the way to its utilization in reality. Pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and genetic engineering of bacteriophages and its proteins will be briefly discussed as well. In addition, we will highlight some of the in-use applications of bacteriophages, and set an outlook for their future ones. We will also overview some of the miscellaneous abilities of these tiny viruses in several fields other than the clinical one. This is an attempt to encourage tackling a long-forgotten hive. Perhaps, one day, the smallest of the creatures would be of the greatest help.

Abstract
When isolating binders from yeast displayed combinatorial libraries, a soluble, recombinantly expressed form of the target protein is typically utilized. As an alternative, we describe the use of target proteins displayed as surface fusions on magnetized yeast cells. In our strategy, the target protein is coexpressed on the yeast surface with an iron oxide binding protein; incubation of these yeast cells with iron oxide nanoparticles results in their magnetization. Subsequently, binder cells that interact with the magnetized target cells can be isolated using a magnet. Using a known binder-target pair with modest binding affinity (KD ≈ 400 nM), we showed that a binder present at low frequency (1 in 105) could be enriched more than 100-fold, in a single round of screening, suggesting feasibility of screening combinatorial libraries. Subsequently, we screened yeast display libraries of Sso7d and nanobody variants against yeast displayed targets to isolate binders specific to the cytosolic domain of the mitochondrial membrane protein TOM22 (KD ≈ 272-1934 nM) and the extracellular domain of the c-Kit receptor (KD ≈ 93 to KD > 2000 nM). Additional studies showed that the TOM22 binders identified using this approach could be used for the enrichment of mitochondria from cell lysates, thereby confirming binding to the native mitochondrial protein. The ease of expressing a membrane protein or a domain thereof as a yeast cell surface fusion-in contrast to recombinant soluble expression-makes the use of yeast-displayed targets particularly attractive. Therefore, we expect the use of magnetized yeast cell targets will enable efficient isolation of binders to membrane proteins.

Abstract
Phage display is a powerful technique for drug discovery in biomedical research in particular for antibody libraries. But, several technical challenges are associated with the selection process. For instance, during the panning step, the successful elution of the phages bound to the antigen is critical in order to avoid losing the most promising binders. Here, we present an efficient protocol to establish, screen and select synthetic libraries of domain antibodies using phage display. We do not only present suitable solutions to the above-mentioned challenges to improve elution by 50-fold, but we also present a step by step in-depth protocol with miniaturized volumes and optimized procedures to save material, costs and time for a successful phage display with domain antibodies. Hence, this protocol improves the selection process for an efficient handling process. The here presented library is based on the variable domain (vNAR) of the naturally occurring novel antibody receptor (IgNAR) from cartilage fishes. Diversity was introduced in the Complementarity-Determining Region 3 (CDR3) of the antigen-binding site with different composition and length.

Abstract
The biopanning process is a critical step in phage display for isolating peptides or proteins with specific binding properties. Conventional panning methods are sometimes not so effective and may result in nonspecific or low-yield positive results. In this study, three different strategies including soluble antibody-capturing, pH-stepwise elution, and conventional panning were used for enrichment of specific clones against diphtheria toxoid. The reactivity of the selected clones was evaluated using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The positive clones were screened using Vero cell viability assay. The neutralizing clones were expressed in HB2151 strain of Escherichia coli and soluble single-chain fragment variable (scFv) fragments were purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid affinity chromatography. Finally, the ability of scFv fragments for neutralizing diphtheria toxin (DT) were evaluated again using Vero cell viability assay. After four rounds of panning, the soluble antibody-capturing method yielded 15 positive phage-scFv clones against diphtheria toxoid. Conventional panning and pH-stepwise elution model resulted from nine and five positive phage-scFv clones, respectively. Among all positive clones, three clones were able to neutralize DT in Vero cell viability assay. Two of these clones belonged to a soluble antibody-capturing method and one of them came from conventional panning. Three neutralizing clones were used for soluble expression and purification of scFvs fragments. It was found that these soluble scFv fragments possessed neutralizing activity ranging from 0.15 to 0.6 µg against two-fold cytotoxic dose 99% of DT. In conclusion, the results of our study indicate that soluble antibody-capturing method is an efficient method for isolation of specific scFv fragments.
