Immunological effects of sublingual immunotherapy with Japanese cedar pollen extract in patients with combined Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress pollinosis

Clinical Immunology, 2020
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with Japanese cedar (JCe) pollinosis was expected to be effective for Japanese cypress (JCy) pollinosis. However, only a half of JCy pollinosis patients clinically improved. Therefore, we examined the immunological effect of SLIT for JCy pollinosis.

Japanese cedar pollinosis and HLA‐DP5

Tissue Antigens, 1996
Japanese cedar pollinosis is a type I allergic disease caused by Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen. We investigated the association between the disease and HLA class II alleles by HLA‐DNA typing using a PCR‐SSOP method and found that the frequency of HLA‐DP5 (DPA1*02022 and DPB1*0501) was significantly increased in the patients.

Approaches to immunotherapies for Japanese cedar pollinosis

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2011
Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica; CJ) pollinosis is a typical type I allergy induced by CJ pollen and one of the most common allergic diseases in Japan. New immunotherapies have been developed for treatment of CJ pollinosis. We focus here on new immunotherapies for CJ pollinosis including sublingual immunotherapy with crude extract of CJ antigen ...

Clinical Effects of Immunotherapy on Japanese Cedar Pollinosis in the Season of Cedar and Cypress Pollination

Auris Nasus Larynx, 1997
Because of cross-allergenicity between Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) and Chamaecyparis obtusa (Japanese cypress) pollens, many Japanese cedar pollinosis patients have symptoms during the cypress pollination season. Therefore, the effect of immunotherapy (IT) specific for Japanese cedar pollinosis must be evaluated not only in the cedar season ...

Induction of oral tolerance to Japanese cedar pollen

Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2001
Oral tolerance is thought to play a role in preventing allergic responses and immune-mediated diseases. An improved mouse model of the oral tolerance to Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) as antigen was developed in order to detect induction of the tolerance, and the immunological characteristics of this model were also elucidated.

Parasite infection and Japanese cedar pollinosis in monkeys

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1999
To evaluate the relationship between helminthic parasite infection and sensitization to Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica; CJ) pollen allergens in Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata), we examined the parasite infection, presence of anti-pollen allergen IgE and development of pollinosis.

Recovery of Gold with Japanese Cedar Wood Powder

ChemSusChem, 2009
Gold is primarily obtained from its rich ores in nature. However, in most technologically advanced countries the so-called “urban mines,” formed by piles of obsolete electric and electronic devices, are attracting much attention as a rich source of gold and other precious metals. Although urban mines contain high concentrations of gold in comparison to

Analysis of Natural History of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 2003
<i>Background:</i> The marked increase in the incidence of Japanese cedar (<i>Cryptomeria japonica;</i> JC) pollinosis is a social problem in Japan. Elucidation of its natural history is, therefore, essential. <i>Methods:</i> Cross-sectional and vertical-sectional studies were performed regarding the effects of aging

Epidemiology of Japanese cedar pollinosis throughout Japan

Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, 2003
Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP) is a common disease posing a major public health problem in Japan. For health care policy planning and development of new treatment modalities, investigation of the accurate prevalence and current status of JCP nationwide is imperative.To ascertain the prevalence and the current status of JCP in Japan with use of a cross-

Platelet-activating factor in Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Journal of lipid mediators, 1990
The concentration of lyso-PAF in serum from untreated patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis, a typical allergic disease, was significantly higher than that in healthy controls. It was also found that the lyso-PAF level in serum from Japanese cedar pollinosis significantly decreased after therapy with ketotifen, an anti-allergic drug.
