摘要：

We describe here a conceptually unique set of individual synthetic peptide combinatorial libraries (SPCLs), termed a positional scanning SPCL (PS-SPCL), that can be used for the rapid (i.e., a single day) identification of peptide sequences that bind with high affinity to antibodies, receptors or other acceptor molecules. The PS-SPCL described here is made up of six individual positional peptide libraries, each one consisting of hexamers with a single position defined and five positions as mixtures. As an example of the utility of such PS-SPCLs, the antigenic determinants recognized by two different monoclonal antibodies were correctly identified upon a single screening.
