Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 81 words
A method for identifying multiple binding specificities of single chain antibodies, said method comprising: contacting under suitable binding conditions a multiplicity of antigen species with a polysome library displaying nascent peptides having a single chain antibody segment; and separating polysomes bound to the antigen species from polysomes not bound to the antigen species; synthesizing cDNA from the separated bound polysomes, thereby identifying single chain antibodies which bind to at least one of the antigen species present in the multiplicity of antigens.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 81 words
A method for identifying multiple binding specificities of single chain antibodies, said method comprising: contacting under suitable binding conditions a multiplicity of antigen species with a polysome library displaying nascent peptides having a single chain antibody segment; and separating polysomes bound to the antigen species from polysomes not bound to the antigen species; synthesizing cDNA from the separated bound polysomes, thereby identifying single chain antibodies which bind to at least one of the antigen species present in the multiplicity of antigens.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A method of claim 1, wherein the multiplicity of antigen species comprises a library of beads or pins, each bead or pin having a single species of predetermined antigen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
A method of claim 2, wherein the antigen species comprise polypeptides synthesized on the beads or pins.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method of claim 3, wherein the beads or pins individually comprise a discrete tag capable of reporting a sequence identity of the single species of polypeptide present on the bead or pin.
