A phage display library made from Staphylococcus aureus DNA was sorted against a central venous catheter (CVC) that had been removed from a patient 2 days after insertion. After the first panning, approximately 50 % of the clones encoded proteins known to interact with mammalian proteins. After the second and third pannings, fibrinogen-binding and ß2-glycoprotein I (ß2-GPI)-binding phage particles were clearly dominating. Proteins adsorbed to different CVCs were investigated using specific antibodies. Among the proteins probed for, fibrinogen was most abundant, but, interestingly, ß2-GPI was also detected on all tested CVCs.

Abbreviations: CF, clumping factor; CVC, central venous catheter; Fg, fibrinogen; Fn, fibronectin; ß2-GPI, ß2-glycoprotein I.
