Article Abstract
genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9 systems is generating worldwide attention and enthusiasm for the possible treatment of genetic disorders. However, the consequences of potential immunogenicity of the bacterial Cas9 protein and the AAV capsid have been the subject of considerable debate. Here, we model the antigen presentation in cells after gene editing by transduction of a human cell line with an AAV2 vector that delivers the Cas9 transgene. Through HLA class I enrichment, peptide elution, and highly sensitive LC-MS interrogation, we identified a highly conserved saCas9-derived T cell epitope in the catalytic domain of the enzyme that is restricted to HLA-A02:01 and induces CD8+ T cell activation and killing. We conclude that AAV delivery of Cas9 results in presentation of a T cell epitope that can activate CD8+ cells and induce killing of the transduced cell, with important ramifications for genome editing strategies.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the most lethal gynecological malignancy, largely due to its late-stage diagnosis and nonspecific early symptoms. Advances in biomarker identification and machine learning offer promising avenues for improving early detection and prognosis. This review evaluates the role of biomarker-driven ML models in enhancing the early detection, risk stratification, and treatment planning of OC.

Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates chemotaxis and bactericidal activities in phagocytes. The monoclonal antibody 5F1 is generated against full-length FPR1 and used widely for detection of FPR1 expression. This study aimed to characterize 5F1 for its functions.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a critical pathogen in the global livestock industry, has long been a focal point of international disease control strategies. This study developed a nanoparticle-based FMDV vaccine platform. We fused the FMDV immunodominant epitope (VP1-G-H-loop) and T-cell epitope (T) with the nanoparticle scaffold (LS), efficiently producing the T-LS-LOOP nanoparticle vaccine using the prokaryotic expression system (BL21).
