Filamentous phage display vector f88-4

Cell Origins provides researchers with critical phage-based laboratory services and kits. We focus on the use of filamentous phage as an inexpensive, reliable, highly stable, and effective replacement for many products currently on the market.

Recovered detail

Complete page context

The f88-4 phage display vector is based on the filamentous phage cloning vector fd-tet (AF217317.1). The vector contains two major coat protein genes (wild-type gene VIII and artificial gene rVIII) resulting in the expression of the two proteins under the induction of IPTG. The artificial gene rVIII contains a 21 bp stuffer that can be replaced with random oligonucleotides to create a phage display library.
