Abstract

A method of producing libraries of genes encoding antigen-combining molecules or antibodies; a method of producing antigen-combining molecules which does not require an in vivo procedure; a method of obtaining antigen-combining molecules of selected specificity which does not require an in vivo procedure; vectors useful in the present method; and antigen-combining molecules produced by the method. The antigen-combining molecules are useful for the detection, quantitation, purification and neutralization of antigens, as well as for diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic purposes.
