PIC1 INHIBITION OF MYELOPEROXIDASE OXIDATIVE ACTIVITY IN AN ANIMAL MODEL
A method of treating systemic lupus erythematosus in a subject is provided in which a therapeutically effective amount of PIC1 is administered to the subject. A method of treating transfusion-related acute lung injury is also provided where a therapeutically effective amount of PIC1 is administered to the subject. PIC1 can modulate immune complex activation of the complement system and NET formation in the subject. PIC1 can also inhibit myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in the subject.
Increasing Specificity for RNA-Guided Genome Editing
Methods for increasing specificity of RNA-guided genome editing, e.g., editing using CRISPR/Cas9 systems.

Using RNA-guided FokI Nucleases (RFNs) to Increase Specificity for RNA-Guided Genome Editing
Many studies have shown that CRISPR-Cas nucleases can tolerate up to five mismatches and still cleave; it is hard to predict the effects of any given single or combination of mismatches on activity. Taken together, these nucleases can show significant off-target effects but it can be challenging to predict these sites. Described herein are methods for increasing the specificity of genome editing using the CRISPR/Cas system, e.g., using RNA-guided FokI Nucleases (RFNs), e.g., FokI-Cas9 or FokI-dCas9-based fusion proteins.
