Yeast is a good host for the expression of complicated mammalian proteins because yeast, like mammalian cells, has quality control system in the secretion pathway which can perform eukaryotic-specific proteolytic processing, chaperone-assisted folding and posttranslational modifications, such as disulfide-bond formation and certain types of glycosylation. Thus, yeast surface display system combined with high throughput screening techniques has been extensively employed as a platform technology for the protein and antibody engineering for affinity maturation with their ligands/antigens, higher stability and expression efficiency in yeast. However, yeast surface display system has been little explored to express cDNA library from some tissues/cells to isolate novel antigens or biomarkers. In this talk, I will present two topics related with antibody engineering and biomarker discovery using yeast surface display system. First, taking a specific example, I will introduce the construction of so called pseudo-immune antibody library to increase the probability of isolating a good binder antibody to a given antigen. Secondly, I will present a selection methodology to isolate patient sera-specific antigens from yeast surface-expressed cDNA library constructed from 15 patient lung tissues with non-small cell lung cancer.
