    Summary: This book provides a detailed and up-to-date overview of all aspects of yeast cell surface engineering, including fundamental principles, practical strategies for the construction of engineered yeasts, as well as medical and industrial applications. The technique makes it possible to add eukaryotic modifications to the surface-displayed proteins/peptides, which is of significant value in basic and applied research. Generally referred to as an arming (molecular display) technology, it allows yeast to be used as a whole-cell biocatalyst for a range of purposes, including bio-energy production, pollutant removal, recovery of rare metal ions, and preparation of functional cells, all of which are comprehensively covered in the book. Among the medical applications discussed are in vitro antibody preparation and the production of oral vaccines. In addition, it presents the latest advances in protein engineering and high-throughput screening for directed evolution of enzymes. The book enables graduate students and researchers to gain a deeper, comprehensive understanding of the technology, and offers further inspiration for researchers and industrial experts in this rapidly evolving field.

    The unlabeled antibody enzyme method, using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocomplex for labeling, was applied to freshly prepared viable lymphocytes to detect antibodies in individuals preimmunized by pregnancies or blood transfusions. The "sandwich" incubations and washing steps were carried out with cells attached to poly(L-lysine) glass slides, in order to facilitate the handling of the samples and to save antisera and time. In comparison to the lymphocytotoxicity test, the described method is more sensitive and able to detect additional antibodies. Our findings indicate that further investigation of the use of this test for the demonstration of cell surface antigens and their antibodies appears to be worthwhile.
