| 1. An assay method for detecting a target in a sample, said method comprising:
contacting a passenger polypeptide with a sample suspected of containing said target, wherein said passenger polypeptide is
displayed on the surface of a biological entity, and wherein said passenger polypeptide is fused to an extracellular terminus
of a circularly permuted bacterial outer membrane protein; and detecting a specific interaction between the passenger polypeptide
and the target when present, wherein presence of the specific interaction is indicative of the presence of the target in the
sample.
