8. Other therapeutic application
Phage display has also been exploited for the discovery of snake
anti-venom peptides. A study has shown that peptides against
Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibits
PLA2 activity of the venom of western cottonmouth
[80].
A recent study has reported the use of phage display method to produce
vaccine against systemic candidiasis as shown in figure 4.
Nielsen, et al. [81] produced 68Ga-labelled cyclic
and two linear dodecapeptides for positron emission tomography (PET)
scan for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus.
