Dear Peter,

Did you get any replies to your question about vectors for the expression
of Fabs? If you did, it might be helpful to others to post a summary of
what you found out.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hello, Everybody,
 
 
        I am 23 y.o. junior scientist with MS in 
Biophysics, working in the Engelghardt Institute of 
Molecular Biology.
 
        I am looking for Ph.D. studentship abroad 
(preferably in Europe). Also any research position, 
(research assistant or something else), leading to Ph.D. 
in 3-5 years will be wonderful.
 
        I have been working in the field of Molecular 
Biology for 7 years, starting at the time when I was 
studying in secondary school. I continued my work in 
this field during my studying in Lomonosov Moscow State 
University. I performed my first scientific research at 
Institute of Carcinogenesis (Cancer Research Center, 
Moscow). My diploma project (5th-6th years) consisted of 
the study of Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) mRNA stability and 
transcriptional activity of RSV promoter in RSV-
transformed hamster fibroblasts, also I was involved in 
some other projects (one of them - Molecular markers of 
cervical cancer). During my work I studied the Basic 
Molecular Biology Techniques such as molecular cloning, 
Southern, Northern blot hybridization, sequencing, the 
most common cell culture techniques, CAT assay, 
Luciferase assay, PCR.
 
 
With best regards, Alexei Gratchev.

Dear all,

In most phagemid-systems I've seen, the leader-sequence of choice is the 
pelB. What is the reason for this? Is it the best, or is it just a habbit?

Furthermore, can one be sure that the pelB peptide is cleaved off after 
translocation across the inner membrane?

Thanks in advance,

Hi again,

Here's another question regarding phage display. There must oviously be
a upper limimt to the size of the protein displayed on phage, even when
fused to pIII in a monovalent manner. Can anyone guide me to a ref adressing
this issue or contribute with their own experience, i.e. how large a molecule
have YOU displayed?

Thanks,

I just wanted to say, that I agree. I have been following this newsgroup,
since it ever came into existence and the most useful thing were monthly
literature updates. I just wonder where all those people are, that use
'repertoire' methods. Only very recently I have started to work myself
wholehearted in this field, but I can not claim to have taken any
advantage or to have received new interesting information by reading this
group regularly.

To the only question, that was posted from myself to this list I got 0.0
replies. perhaps this is the same for other people. Perhaps this is also
why this news group seems to me more or less dying.

That would be GREAT.

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I posted the following question:

    > We have been storing phage expressing a scFv on gene III at 4oC and 
find that after 4-5 days we get loss of binding to the antigen. Even 
after PEG precipitation. Can anyone suggest the best way to store them at 
4oC so they remain useful for assays etc.< 

Thanks for all those who replied with useful stuff here is a summary of 
the replies:

Henni Hoogenboom said:

We store our phages in 15% glycerol at -70 (also for repertoires), which
provides a stable source of phage as regard to infection titers. Also the
display is maintained all right.

Cinzia Trabni offered this advice

we have experienced more Fab-phage than scFv-phage, but in both
cases we store them at 4oC upon addition of 1 mM PMSF and 0,02% NaN3 and 
they
are working for all the time we store them. A few days ago I have used a 
Fab-phage
prepared in 1992! Anyway, it could be possible that a specific scFv is 
particularly
unstable or that, if you reveal the binding through a tag, that the tag 
itself
is easily degraded. 

Paolo Monacis’ experience was: 
 
We found that it is very important to prevent bacterial growth in the 
phage supernatant.
 To this end we carefully pellet bacteria, when long-term storage is 
needed 
we filter with 0.225 filters the sup, finally we add preservants (NaN3, 
Thi
merosal) to avoid bacterial growth. In this way sups retain their binding 
proper
ties at least for 3-4 weeks.

Lastly Markus Renschler offered this advice:

your observation is correct. We always grow them fresh for assays. The
phage remains infectious for years at 4 degrees, thus it can always be 
used
to reinfect fresh bacteria. We freeze the bacteria infected with each 
clone
and usually keep purified phage at 4 degrees, but don't use them for
assays.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------

We have started to add NaN3 as suggested and found that the phage stay 
active in ELISA and dot blots for a few weeks. It does seem that there is 
no substitute for making them fresh if you want to squeeze every last OD 
unit out of your phage. In our experience using them as soluble scFv and 
visualising with an antibody to the peptide tag is better. They are 
simple to produce and are relatively stable for at least a few weeks.

Thanks once again for the help.

Cheers,

Mick

NOTE: We had a lot of trouble posting last fall so I don't think the following
response ever got out.  My posting was about a method for displaying the
results of a "molecular repertoire" so that you don't throw away your data by
making a "consensus sequence".  The method is a graphical one called a
"sequence logo".  Tom

Unfortunately that's difficult because the sequence logos are a visual
display.  They are in PostScript and I have put some in GIF format for the web
pages.

If you have access to ftp (file transfer protocol) you can look into my

Dear All,

Who do you think has made the greatest contribution to the field of
molecular diversity / combinatorial chemistry during the past year?
Is there someone you have in mind who would deserve the title Repertoirian
of the Year 1995? Who would you propose?

Send your suggestions to molreps@dl.ac.uk or molreps@net.bio.net and let's
see who we can come up with!

TW> Dear all,

TW> In most phagemid-systems I've seen, the leader-sequence of choice
TW> is the pelB. What is the reason for this? Is it the best, or is it
TW> just a habbit?

	As far as I know, no systematic study has shown that pelb is
better or more versatile than other bacterial leader sequences.
Perhaps others know more than I...

TW> Furthermore, can one be sure that the pelB peptide is cleaved off
TW> after translocation across the inner membrane?

I would say that *if* it is translocated, the leader will be clipped.
So if are you truly isolating a periplasmic fraction your protein
should be all right.  If you isolate from sups, you may have
periplasmic material or possibly cytoplasmic protein (from cell
lysis) with the leader still intact.

Dear All,

Who do you think has made the greatest contribution to the field of
molecular diversity / combinatorial chemistry during the past year?
Is there someone you have in mind who would deserve the title Repertoirian
of the Year 1995? Who would you propose?

Send your suggestions to molreps@dl.ac.uk or molreps@net.bio.net and let's
see who we can come up with!

Andrew

This year's international Perspectives on Protein Engineering Conference is
being held in Montpellier, South of France 2-6 March 1997 The overall theme
is "Folds to Function" Sub-themes include: Molecular Bioinformatics (gene
function discovery); protein evolution and design; protein folding;
biocatalysis (enzyme engineering) and protein-nucleic acid interactions. A
large World Wide Web site holds all the conference information, the
scientific abstract and an on-line registration facility for the
conference. Web site at - http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/CEC/pope5.htm

The European Commission has sponsored many groups funded under Framework
III (Protein Structure and Function) to come to the conference. The result
is that 5 "EU networks" are holding  satellite minisymposia: Protein
Translation Factors (Brian Clark, Aarhus) Cellulase Structure and Function
(Richard Haser, Marseille) Glutamate receptors (Joel Bockaert/Jean Rossier,
Montpellier/Gif-sur-Yvette) ScatterFactor/Human Growth Factor (Ermanno
Gherardi, Cambridge) "Plantibodies - endowing plants with new functions
(Arjen Schots, Wageningen) All these network programmes

Forwarded announcement from the EBI, Cambridge, UK

Andrew
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleague,



I would like to draw your attention to a new database which is now being

established. This is the PCR primers database.  The database is based on

submissions made by colleagues who perform PCR experiments. It holds

information on tested, working sets of primers. The information should

enable researchers to synthesize primers and follow the original

experimental design, thus avoiding the hassle and high cost which is often

associated with designing of new primers.



Your Email address has been extracted from Usenet news articles. If this

message was inadvertently sent to you, please excuse me for the trouble

and inconvenience that it caused.



This letter is an open invitation for you or any of your colleagues to

visit the database WWW site (or alternatively use ftp or our email server)

check the existing documentation and information and add your "public"

tested and working primer sets to the database. Such a contribution may

later save someone else much work. Currently, there's no possibility to

feed the database by journal scanning, so the database relies ONLY on the

good will of the researchers community.



The database home page can be accessed through EBI's home page at:



http://www.ebi.ac.uk/  in the databases area, or directly at:



http://www.ebi.ac.uk/primers_home.html



The data and documentation can be obtained through anonymous ftp to:

ftp.ebi.ac.uk   under: /pub/databases/primers/



Users who have no other means of connection besides email, can now use the 

EMBL-EBI automatic mail server to retrieve the database files and

documents. To start working with the mail server in general, send a

message containing the word "HELP" either in the subject line or in the

body of message, to:  netserv@ebi.ac.uk Here are the commands which are

available for the primers database:





Here is a summary of all the available commands for the primers database,

that can be specified in an email message sent to netserv@ebi.ac.uk

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

To obtain                                     send the command

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

A general help file                           HELP PRIMERS

The database fields definitions file          GET PRIMERS:DEFINITIONS

A bogus filled entry as an example            GET PRIMERS:EXAMPLE

An electronic data submission form            GET PRIMERS:SUBMISSION.FORM

The actual data file with the entries         GET PRIMERS:PRIMERS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Dear colleague, please do not forget, this database will NOT be created

by journal scanning and active searching, but from direct submissions from

researchers only.  The key to the success of this database is your

submissions, so do set aside some spare time and send your primers.



Our email:  primers@ebi.ac.uk

WWW      :  http://www.ebi.ac.uk/primers_home.html

fax      :  +44 1223 494468

Phone    :  +44 1223 494437



I highly welcome any questions, corrections, remarks or discussions concerning

the PCR Primers database  (or the British weather or any other topic... :).

Email is the most preferred way.



Best wishes. Good luck with your PCR experiments.



Yours,



Benny.

Mick, thanks for posting this list of responses. I hope we can see more 
of this kind of activity, otherwise the group will die out.

Actually I was lucky to see this message - I only found it by netsurfing 
to biosci's site at http://www.bio.net/ otherwise I would never have 
known it was there. Is anyone else having so much trouble with their 
mail recently? Maybe this is one reason why there's not much activity on 
this group - the messages are not getting out!

Does anyone know of a tag (apart from myc) which has the following
characteristics:
hybridoma is available (i.e. you can grow your own)
active at N and C terminal, and also within the middle of a protein
small
no background if used as a tag in transfected mammalian cells
can be used to purify proteins

I would like to use this to make a phage antibody library with a non-myc tag

that is specific and can be used in a Western blot.  I am aware that there
are commercially available rabbit anti-M13 from Pharmacia and Stratagene
but would prefer something a bit more specific.  Any help or suggestions

anti M13 gp3 antibodies are provided (polyclonal) by GATC, a German
company.  These are very good (we've used them) and are diluted 1/10000 for
western blots.  The company can be reached on Fax +49 7531 57313.  or
telephone 7531 57209.

Hi all,

Andrew forwarded a question about the  availability of monoclonals towards pIII
of filamentous phage. Bhardwaj et al. published the making of such mAbs in
Journal of Immunological Methods (1995), 179 pp 165-175, but I tried writing
the autors months ago to request samples or hybridomas, without luck. They
never answered :-(

I know that someone in germany has made mAbs against pIII, but unfortunately
I cant remember who. Can any of you?

(LAST REVISION: 14-DEC-95)

This BIOSCI "miniFAQ" is designed to answer the questions that come up
the *most frequently*.  The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL
http://www.bio.net/.

	Contents:
	--------
	1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.

	2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.

	3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.

	4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory.


1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups.
--------------------------------------------------------
As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are
accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net.
One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings
and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured
properly to send e-mail.  Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS
index in addition to the master index for the entire set.  The main
BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents
database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in
another item further below.


2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc.
-------------------------------------------------------
BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups),
mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/.
The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small
number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net).  Unfortunately it
is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out
to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of
newsgroups and mailing lists.  These attempts to grab free advertising
are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net
terminology.  USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many
spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the
mailing lists.  However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses
and hit these too, so neither medium is immune.

What should you do personally if you get junk mail?
---------------------------------------------------
Just delete it and move on without reading it further.  Filing a
protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often
disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from.  Unless you
really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by
sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the
address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing.

What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups?
----------------------------------------------------
The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup.
If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape.
Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the
spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists
completely.  Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the
time to review each message before it goes out.  We have set up
software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an
address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed.
This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass
it on, say about 1 min. per message.

Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible
for their newsgroup.  The discussions leaders and their e-mail
addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is
available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  If a newsgroup is being
hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader
for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group.
Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the
newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your
complaint.  With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has
to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems
directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net.

We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells
us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator
is willing to do the work.  For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this
entails only a few minutes of work each day.

Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings
on the USENET distribution.  Unfortunately there are easy ways for
determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET,
but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if
the newsgroup is moderated.  You can also access our newsgroups over
the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net.  While this Web interface will not
stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you
yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of
your personal mail files.  For those of you with local USENET news
systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new
newsgroups and recent postings.


3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists.
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on
subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the
newsgroups and mailing lists.  People who do this only bother everyone
on the lists to no avail.  Please be sure to follow the proper
procedures below.

Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at
http://www.bio.net.  Below we give an example utilizing the
METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites:

Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI
------------------------------------------------------------------
node at computer net.bio.net:
----------------------------

A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   for the group.  These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet.  For
   the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is
   methods@net.bio.net.  The listname is the portion of the address to
   the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods".  The listname is used with
   the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below.

B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to
   biosci-server@net.bio.net.  Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup
   posting addresses!  Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it
   will be ignored.

C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following
   commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g.,

   subscribe methods
   unsubscribe methods
   end

   Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines.  The
   server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address
   on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list.
   Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has
   changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells
   you that you are not a member.


Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at
--------------------------------------------------------------------
computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk):
-------------------------------------------------

To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to
specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended.
The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet
on the Web at http://www.bio.net/.  For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list
the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the
appropriate commands are

    sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

    unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts

These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk,
NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses.  As usual, include the text in
the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored.

To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use

    unsub bionet-news

Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one
in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by
this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk.


4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research
interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have
not already done so.

You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL
http://www.bio.net/adrform.html.

The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is
http://www.bio.net/).  If you are not directly on the Internet but can
reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user
directory.  waismail use is described above.  You can also request a
user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net.

Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your
address information is still up-to-date.  Because of our limited
personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to
revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have
resources to edit old forms.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIOSCI/bionet Manager

The original reference for the anti-gpIII MAb is:
  TI: MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODY AGAINST PIII OF FILAMENTOUS PHAGE - AN
      IMMUNOLOGICAL TOOL TO STUDY PIII FUSION PROTEIN EXPRESSION IN
      PHAGE DISPLAY SYSTEMS

      BRAUNSCHWEIG,GERMANY
  JN: IMMUNOTECHNOLOGY, 1995, Vol.1, No.1, pp.53-64
I saw a poster presentation by one of the authors; she seemed to be 
willing to send the MAb to people.

Cheers,

Hi all,

I got a monclonal antibody against gpII from Michael Tesar and it works 
beautifully on western blots. He is at the Deot of Microbiology 
Gesellschaft fur Biotechn., Forschung, Braunscweig 381124, Germany.
His e-mail is a bit simpler it is: mte@venus.gbf-braunschweig.d400.de
Hope this is of some use.

Cheers,

Mick
