The effect of the overexpression of ER residents PDI and BiP are analyzed in terms of their effect on secretion of scFv molecules. Parameters are optimized, including BiP and PDI expression, to give the highest antibody fragment yields.

This review discusses some of the most recent improvements in the basic two-hybrid technique, such as refinements that allow for selection of proteins that select against protein interactions and the use of non-transcription-based selection systems.

This paper describes a dual bait version of the two-hybrid system designed to simultaneously identify potential interaction partners and filter out spurious interactions. The ability of this system to eliminate false positives at this early step will save researchers both time and frustration.

The split-ubiquitin system is modified for use in the detection of interactions between membrane proteins. The potential applications and limitations of this system are discussed.
