Abstract
The present invention concerns a screening system for screening effector peptides that can act as agonists or antagonists, as well as means to produce such a screening system, in particular a specific DNA library encoding peptides. In order to perform the screening, host cells comprising a selection system are transformed with the DNA library and the thus obtained screening system is then cultivated under conditions selectively allowing survival of cells with desired interaction.
