A λ Phage Platform for Successful Therapeutic Display of Protein Antigens.
Article in Research square, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We have developed a vector platform for delivery of foreign peptides by genetic modification of the temperate lambda (λ) bacteriophage. This delivery platform is capable of displaying peptides or proteins on either terminus of the structural λ head protein D, present in ~ 420 copies per phage particle, and λ side tail fiber (Stf), present at 12 copies per phage particle. Proteins and peptides can be easily fused for display through the low-cost and high-efficiency methods of recombineering and λ prophage induction for recombinant phage preparation described here. To improve this vector technology for use in antigen selection and immunotherapy, we introduced several mutations in the bacterial host and resident prophage λ that improve engineering, induction, phage stability, yield, fusion protein accommodation capacity, and longevity in animal systems. We tested the ability of this λ display system to identify useful antigens and generate antibodies in a mouse model. We report its success as a new technology for both applications: the selection and delivery of therapeutic peptides and proteins.
