A method is provided for screening a library of tester peptides for those tester peptides which inhibit viral infection of a target cell by a vector capable of infecting the target cell in the absence of the tester peptide through binding of a viral surface protein or viral structural protein expressed by the vector to a receptor protein expressed on a surface of the target cell. According to the method, a library of tester peptides are expressed in the target cells. The target cells are then contacted with the vector and those target cells which are not infected by the vector are selected. The method may include additional rounds of negative selection to establish a resistance of the selected target cells to infection as well as positive rounds of selection.

L'invention concerne une technique de criblage d'une banque de peptides de test, notamment des peptides inhibant une infection virale d'une cellule cible par un vecteur susceptible d'infecter la cellule cible en l'absence du peptide de test, par liaison d'une protéine virale de surface ou une protéine structurale virale exprimée par le vecteur à une protéine réceptrice exprimée à la surface de la cellule cible. Selon cette technique, une banque de peptides de test est exprimée dans les cellules cibles. Lesdites cellules sont ensuite mises en contact avec le vecteur et les cellules cibles non infectées par le vecteur sont sélectionnées. Cette technique peut comprendre des cycles supplémentaires de sélection négative de manière à établir une résistance des cellules cibles sélectionnées à une infection, ainsi que des cycles positifs de sélection.
