Quick pick-up
Consequently, changes to this 9-mer region, particularly those that abrogate homology with other peptides in the human proteome, might be detrimental to homology-induced tolerance and lead to increased immunogenicity risk ( Selection of impurities for in vitro studies The 34 observed impurities evaluated in silico included impurities resulting from amino acid deletions, amino acid duplications, side-chain modifications (including oxidation, succinimide formation, dehydration, acetylation), N- and C-terminal truncations, and N-terminal extension and modification ( Figure 4 )
