E. coli Strain BLT7Bio
E. coli strain with expressing capsid 10A with a C-terminal biotinylation tag for phage display studies.
Highlights:
- Allows for dual phage display utilizing E. coli Strain BLT7FLAG
- Broadly applicable to bait proteins or non-protein molecules
- Capable of identifying unknown bait-binding proteins in as fast as 4–7 days
Bacteriophage T7 is a bacteriophage capable of infecting susceptible bacterial cell (mostly E. coli). Bacteriophage T7 is a DNA virus that has a lytic life cycle. The T7 bacteriophage has several properties that make it an ideal phage for experimentation.

| Transformation: | Culture BLT7Bio bacteria until the OD600 reaches to 0.5; add IPTG (1 mM) to bacteria and continue shaking for 30 min. BLT7Bio can be stored at 4C for up to 2 days; add T7 phage at appropriate titer to the bacteria and shake at 37C until lysis. |
| Induction: | IPTG for 30 min at 37C with shaking |
| Storage: | Uninduced BLT7Bio should be stored at -80C for long-term storage; IPTG-induced BLT7Bio should be stored at 4C for 2 days. |
| Shipped: | Dry ice |
Notes:
T7 phage amplified in BLT7Bio bacteria will have all surface capsid 10A (~400 copies/phage) displaying biotin. This will not affect foreign proteins displayed on C-terminus of capsid 10B.Use horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin to detect bound phage amplified in BLT7Bio bacteria.
