Diagnostic Probes for Bacillus anthracis Spores Selected from a Landscape Phage Library
13 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent use of Bacillus anthracis spores as a bioweapon has highlighted the need for a continuous monitoring system. Current monitoring systems rely on antibody-derived probes, which are not hardy enough to withstand long-term use under extreme conditions. We describe new, phage-derived probes that can be used as robust substitutes for antibodies. METHODS: From a landscape phage library with random...
