Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new method to identify which proteins are most likely to trigger immune responses, with results published in the journal Biomaterials. The method challenges the longstanding assumption that all proteins are equally likely to provoke immune reactions in the body. This discovery could significantly improve outcomes in transplant care and regenerative medicine, two fields where managing immune system responses is critical to success. The research represents a potential breakthrough in understanding protein immunogenicity and could benefit multiple areas of medicine where immune system interactions play a crucial role.
