Cas9-derived peptides presented by MHC Class II that elicit proliferation of CD4+ T-cells

There have been reports of immune responses against Cas9 which may impair clinical use. Here the authors scan a cohort comparable to the North American population vis-à-vis distribution of MHC-II variants to identify Cas9 peptides presented by MHC-II proteins and can stimulate CD4 + T-cells.
