Abstract

Disclosed in the present application is a method for constructing an antigen-specific binding polypeptide gene display vector. The method comprises processing by using a restriction endonuclease that specifically recognizes a restriction site to obtain four nucleic acid fragments having specific sticky ends, and then enabling the nucleic acid fragments to directionally ligate. Further disclosed in the present application are an antigen-specific binding polypeptide gene display vector produced according to the method and a bacterial library. The method described in the present application can be used for effectively screening antigen-specific antigen-binding polypeptides or fragments thereof.
