The present invention relates to variants of subtilisin-like proteases
having decreased immunogenicity relative to their corresponding wild-type
proteases. More particularly, the present invention relates to variants
having a modified amino acid sequence of a wild-type amino acid sequence,
wherein the modified amino acid sequence comprises a substitution of one
or more epitope regions. The invention further relates to mutant genes
encoding such variants and cleaning and personal care compositions
comprising such variants.
