The invention relates to the field of generating helper phages and phage
display libraries for the identification of binding molecules. The
invention provide chimaeric phages having a coat comprising a protein
mixture. The protein mixture comprises a fusion protein having a
proteinaceous molecule fused to a functional form of a phage coat protein
and a mutant form of the phage coat protein, wherein the mutant form is
impaired in binding to a host cell receptor. The invention further
provides new phage collections, novel helper phages and methods and means
for producing chimaeric phages, infectious phages and helper phages.
