Anti-VEGF antibodies and variants thereof, including those having high affinity for binding to VEGF, are disclosed. Also provided are methods of using phage display technology with naïve libraries to generate and select the anti-VEGF antibodies with desired binding and other biological activities. Further contemplated are uses of the antibodies in research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

The present invention relates to the design of trimeric polypeptides using polypeptide structural elements derived from the tetranectin protein family, and their use in rational de novo design and production of multi-functional molecules including the application of the multi-functional molecules in protein library technology, such as phage display technology, diagnostic and therapeutic systems, such as human gene therapy and imaging. The trimeric polypeptides being constructed as a monomer polypeptide construct comprising at least one tetranectin trimerising structural element (TTSE) which is covalently linked to at least one heterologous moiety, said TTSE being capable of forming a stable complex with two other TTSEs; or as an oligomer which is comprised of two monomer polypeptide constructs as mentioned above, and which comprises three TTSEs or a multiplum of three TTSEs, or which is comprised of three monomer polypeptide constructs.

The present invention provides novel technologies for producing and screening fusion proteins on the surface of filamentous phage. In particular, a single vector can be used for generating cell and phage libraries containing a given series of protein sequences fused to either one or other of two phage coat proteins. This approach simplifies and improves the efficiency of the subsequent phage display-based selection of protein-binding molecules having therapeutic or diagnostic utility, such as antibodies, peptides, or epitope-binding regions.

The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically, relates to a tumor-targeting double-drug carrying and delivery system and a preparation method thereof. The tumor-targeting double-drug carrying and delivery system adopts high-molecular materials, polyethylene glycol, a polypeptide, a treatment gene and a chemotherapeutic drug, wherein the polypeptide is utilized as a targeting head and the high-molecular materials are utilized as base high-molecular carriers. The preparation method comprises that the chemotherapeutic drug of adriamycin and the like are inserted into double chains of the treatment gene to form a gene-chemotherapeutic drug compound; and through electrostatic interaction between the gene chemotherapeutic compound and the base high-molecular carriers, the tumor-targeting double-drug carrying and delivery system which simultaneously carries the treatment gene and the chemotherapeutic drug is obtained. The high-molecular materials are novel polypeptide-modified high-molecular materials, are selected by a phage display technology, and can enter into cells by endocytosis, and thus the gene and chemotherapeutic drug intake capability of tumor cells are improved and safety is improved. The polypeptide (T7) as the targeting head has advantages belonging to transferrin, can effectively avoid interferences from endogenous transferrin, has high targeting and treatment efficiency, is easy for preparation, and can be further developed and be utilized for targeting treatment on other tumor tissue.

The invention described herein relates to a method for identifying antigen fragments of Toxoplasma gondii proteins, and their use as diagnostic and immunogenic agents. Said method is implemented by means of selection of DNA fragments libraries of the parasite with sera of subjects who have been infected, using the phage display technique, and is characterised in that it uses the expression / exposure vector λKM4. The method allows also to identify antigen fragments related to the time of the infection.
