ABSTRACT
The innate immune system relies on a variety of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs) as the first line of defense against pathogenic invasions. Viruses have evolved multiple strategies to evade the host immune system through coevolution with hosts. The CRISPR-Cas system is an adaptive immune system in bacteria or archaea that defends against viral reinvasion by targeting nucleic acids for cleavage. Based on the characteristics of Cas proteins and their variants, the CRISPR-Cas system has been developed into a versatile gene-editing tool capable of gene knockout or knock-in operations to achieve genetic variations in organisms. It is now widely used in the study of viral immune evasion mechanisms. This chapter will introduce the use of the CRISPR-Cas9 system for editing herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) genes to explore the mechanisms by which HSV-1 evades host innate immunity and the experimental procedures involved.
