The answer is yes. Here are two review articles which might help:
Hoogenboom HR & Winter G. (1992) By-passing immunisation. Human
antibodies from synthetic repertoires of germline VH gene segments
rearranged in vitro. J Mol Biol 227:381-388.
Winter G, Griffiths AD, Hawkins RE & Hoogenboom HR. (1994) Making
antibodies by phage display technology. Annu Rev Immunol 12:433-455.
