A new dimension in surface display

The autodisplay system has proven to be an efficient tool for the cell surface display of a wide variety of recombinant proteins. To date, its applications span the functional cell surface display of enzymes, enzyme inhibitors, and antigens or receptors; the development of whole cell biocatalysts or biofactories; and peptide library screening by target enzyme binding as well as analytical or preparative purposes.

The autodisplay technology offers the following advantages:

 _{Enhanced enzyme stability due to immobilisation on the cell surface}

 _{No membrane barriers}

 _{Minimal restrictions regarding size, structure and origin of the peptides/proteins}

 _{Multimerisation/aggregation of protein complexes possible}

 _{No impairment of cell viability and integrity}
