The CRISPR system targets DNA sequences for precisely cutting DNA and then letting natural DNA repair processes take over.

<h3>What is the CRISPR system?</h3>

CRISPR/Cas9 edits genes by accurately slicing DNA, which is then repaired by the body's mechanisms. The Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA make up the system's two components. CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, which some bacterial species use as a component of their antiviral defenses. Co-founder Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier and a team of researchers figured out how to employ this technology as a gene-editing tool (Jinek, et al. Science 2012) An enzyme known as a CRISPR-associated (Cas) endonuclease that functions as a "molecular scissors" to cut DNA where a guide specifies RNA. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic informational molecule that most organisms use to store the "instructions for life". Living beings employ ribonucleic acid (RNA), a molecule related to DNA, for a variety of tasks, including carrying and reading the DNA "instructions." RNA molecules known as "guide RNA" (gRNA) attach to Cas9.

Explain the process by which an attack of hay fever follows exposure to pollen
Bezzdna [24]

<span>Hay fever is a manifestation of allergic reaction from pollen, which is prevalent during haying season. Hay fever is commonly known as allergic rhinitis caused by an oversensitive immune system, particularly the lymphocytes, leading to a misdirected immune response. The body undergo a sensitization when one develops IgE antibodies and develop a strong TH2 response against pollen. Then, this newly develop IgE antibodies sticks to basophils and mast cells with no signs and symptoms yet. However, when one is expose again to pollens, mast cells will be activated and release mediators who are responsible for immediate vascular and smooth muscle reaction. After this, local clinical manifestation of hay fever will be observed. </span>
