Project description:The global transcriptional profile of novel T7-like Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage LUZ100 was obtained using the long read RNA sequencing technique ONT-cappable-seq. Using this approach we obtained a comprehensive genome-wide map of viral transcription start sites, terminators and transcription units and gained new insights in the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of T7-like temperate phages.
Project description:We present a target-unbiased approach for antibody discovery that relies on generating mAbs against native target cell surfaces via phage display. This method combines a previously reported method for improved whole-cell phage display selections with next-generation sequencing analysis to efficiently identify mAbs with the desired target cell reactivity. This approach enabled the identification of three multiple myeloma cell surface antigens, and cognate monoclonal antibody probes.
Project description:After the attachment of the lytic phage T4 to Escherichia coli cells, 1% E. coli cells showed an approximately 40-fold increase in mutant frequency. They were designated as mutator A global transcriptome analysis using microarrays was conducted to determine the difference between parental strain and mutators, and the host responce after adsorption of the phage and the ghost.
