Abstract

A method of screening for binding partners of a specific molecule. The method employs a chimeric protein having at least two different binding regions; one containing at least a portion of the specific molecule or an analog thereof, and the other containing a binding region of an immunoglobulin chain. In a preferred embodiment, the method is used for rapidly screening member compounds of a combinatorial library for potential biological activity.
