A method of identifying a peptide which permits or facilitates the transport of an active agent through a human or animal tissue. A predetermined amount of phage from a random phage library or preselected phage library is plated unto or brought into contact with a first side, preferably the apical side, of a tissue sample or polarized tissue cell culture. At a predetermined time, the phage which is transported to a second side of the tissue opposite the first side, preferably the basolateral side, is harvested to select transported phage. This modified phage is amplified in a host. This cycle of events is repeated (using the transported phage produced in the most recent cycle) a predetermined number of times to obtain a selected phage library containing phage which can be transported from the first side to the second side. Lastly, the identity of at least one peptide coded by phage in the selected phage library is determined to identify a peptide which permits or facilitates the transport of an active agent through a human or animal tissue.
一种鉴定肽的方法,这种肽能允许或促进活性剂通过人体或动物组织的运输。将随机噬菌体文库或预选噬菌体文库中预定量的噬菌体接种到组织样本或极化组织
细胞培养物的第一侧,最好是顶端侧,或使其与第一侧接触。在预定的时间,收获被转运到与第一侧相对的组织第二侧(最好是基底侧)的噬菌体,以选择转运的噬菌体。这种经过修饰的噬菌体会在宿主体内扩增。这种循环重复预定次数(使用最近一次循环中产生的转运噬菌体),以获得包含可从第一侧转运到第二侧的噬菌体的精选噬菌体文库。最后,确定所选噬菌体文库中噬菌体编码的至少一种肽的特性,以确定一种肽,这种肽可允许或促进活性剂通过人体或动物组织进行转运。
