Abstract
Disclosed is an infective lambdoid bacteriophage which includes a protein construct comprising a genetically modified major tail protein truncated at its carboxy terminus, and a target molecule peptide bonded to the carboxy terminus of the tail protein. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding the construct and methods of detecting a molecule-of-interest in a solution and of detecting a cell which produces a molecule-of-interest.
