The next step was the detection of the expression of the ''mdnA-myc-geneIII''-fusion gene on the surface of the phage. So ''E. coli'' cells strains XL1-Blue and ER2738 were first transformed with the phagemid pPDV089 before they were infected with helper phages. ''E. coli'' cells containing both plasmids were selected. An ELISA test was performed to determine whether these cells are able to produce phage particles carrying the mdnA peptide on their surface. To perform this test anti-c-myc-antibodies were immobilized on ELISA plates and incubated with purified phages. For detection a second antibody coupled with horse radish peroxidase (HRP) was used which binds the gene VIII protein of the phages. The HRP substrate 3,3'-5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was added and in case of binding a colour reaction was expected. The colour shift from achromatic to yellow in wells incubated with phages produced in XL1-blue cells showed the successful expression of ''mdnA-gene III''-fusion protein on the phages.In wells which should be incubated with ER2738 cells no colour change was obserevd what is due to the fact that a mistake during phage purification was noticed. <br>

For more precise results the absorption from 450 – 600 nm was measured and measured data was presented in a box plot. As a negative control helper phages were added instead of produced phages, carrying mdnA-myc-gene III-fusion protein on their surface. Furthermore two wells were prepared were the secondary antibody was not added.

The graphic shows clearly the much higher absorption measured in wells, which were incubated with phage particles of interest produced in XL1-Blue cells. As has already pointed out this shows the succeeded expression of mdnA-c-myc-gene III-fusion protein on the surface of the phages.

To test the fundamental suitability of this screening method, phages representing unmodified mdnA on their surface and phages not representing mdnA in a ratio of one to one were incubated with immobilized trypsin which is known as a target of mdnA. The display was conducted in ELISA plates. The bound phages were eluted using a buffer with low pH value and neutralized afterwards. To check how many phages interacted with trypsin, ''E. coli'' cells were re-infected with eluted phages and plated on agar with different antibiotics. Cells infected with phages carrying mdnA are expected to grow on agar with ampicillin whereas cells containing phages without mdnA are expected to grow on agar with kanamycin. To control the success of the panning round additionally ''E. coli'' cells were infected with not panned phages and plated on agar. Subsequent the number of clones grew on ampicillin and kanamycin before and after panning was compared.

Cells infected with phages carrying mdnA are expected to grow on agar with ampicillin whereas cells containing phages without mdnA are expected to grow on agar with kanamycin. To control the success of the panning round additionally ''E. coli'' cells were infected with not panned phages and plated on agar. Subsequent the number of clones grew on ampicillin and kanamycin before and after panning was compared. During the running of this step it was noticed that much more cells infected with unpanned phages grew on kanamycin plates than on ampicillin plates. This is surprising and indicates that phages were not given in one to one ratio as calculated after nanodrop measuring but in a 1:400 ratio (phages carrying the protein of interest: helper phages). Thus the suggestion can be made that maybe the presented mdnA on the phages has some toxic effects on the cells. <br>

The results of the first phage display performed after one panning round are plotted in the figure below ("Grown clones after Phage Display 1"). It was expected that after panning the ratio of cells grown on ampicillin and cells grown on kanamycin increases. This is attributable to the fact that cells which grow on ampicillin should contain the phage particles carrying mdnA c-myc geneIII fusion protein on their surface and are expected to bind specifically to trypsin. Unfortunately this could not be observed in this experiment.<br>
 +
So it was decided to repeat this experiment under improved conditions. Therefore the number of washing steps during the described experimental procedure was increased.
 +
Results are shown in figure <br>
 +
So after that repeated and modified phage display a much higher ratio of cells grown on ampicillin before panning and cells grown on ampicillin after panning to cells grown kanamycin before panning and cells grown on ampicillin after panning could be noticed. This indicates that the unmodified mdnA expressed on the phages binds specifically to the immobilized trypsin and that phage display in general for screening a generated mdnA library is possible.
