ABSTRACT
Inhibitors of human neutrophil elastase were engineered by designing and producing a library of phage-displayed protease inhibitory domains derived from wild-type bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and fractionating the library for binding to the target protease. The affinity of one of the engineered variants for human neutrophil elastase (Kd = 1.0 pM) is 3.6 x 10(6)-fold higher than that of the parental protein and exceeds the highest affinity reported for any reversible human neutrophil elastase inhibitor by 50-fold. Thus the display phage method has allowed us to obtain protein derivatives that exhibit greatly increased affinity for a predetermined target. The technology can be applied to design high-affinity proteins for a wide variety of target molecules.
