Exploring Immunogenic Peptides in CRISPR/Cas9: A Deep Dive for Researchers and Clinicians

The CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology has revolutionized the field of molecular biology, holding immense potential in gene therapy and medical treatments. However, despite its groundbreaking success, one of the critical challenges remains its safety, particularly related to the immune response it might trigger. Specifically, the immunogenic peptides generated during the CRISPR/Cas9 process have raised concerns regarding the technology’s clinical viability. Researchers have found that the Cas9 protein, especially when derived from bacterial species, can induce an immune reaction, limiting its use in humans.

We will explore the identification and characterization of immunogenic peptides associated with CRISPR/Cas9, highlighting their significance in clinical applications. We will discuss how these peptides might influence the immune response, how we can detect and mitigate them, and their potential impact on gene therapy protocols. By understanding the immunogenicity of CRISPR/Cas9, we can enhance the safety and efficacy of this technology for therapeutic use.
