Scripps research team develops new technique to tap full potential of antibody libraries
Published in Clinical Oncology Week, February 2nd, 2009
In hopes of more fully tapping the libraries' potential, a group of Scripps Research Institute scientists, led by Scripps Research President Richard A. Lerner, M.D., has for the first time developed a new screening technique that enables antibody screening against equally massive libraries of targets. This technique makes it possible to accelerate searches for new treatments against cancer and other diseases.
The work is being reported in this week's Early Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academies of Science (PNAS).
