title: Design and peptide-based validation of phage display antibodies for proteomic biochips.
abstract: To validate potential application of phage display-antibody arrays for high-throughput screening on a novel proteomics biochip, we examined the epitopes versus the full protein of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) from yeast. In a predictive approach, we used the Hopp-Woods method and compared the results with antibodies directed against the entire enzyme. In total, 16 peptides of a length of 11 amino acids each fulfilling the desired criteria were identified and synthesized. Subsequently, antibodies against G6PD were raised using a phage display library. Selective interaction of the antibodies with certain peptides facilitated the identification of epitopes predicted by the hydropathic profile. The setup was adapted to a novel biochip system based on surface-enhanced absorption for direct CCD-camera based screening.
