Airborne contact dermatitis due to Japanese cedar pollen

Contact Dermatitis, 2007
Contact dermatitis caused by airborne antigen is a well‐recognized problem. Previously, airborne contact dermatitis after contact with Japanese cedar pollen [Japanese cedar pollen dermatitis (JCPD)] has been reported in Japan. However, there is still no diagnostic test to evaluate contact dermatitis due to Japanese cedar pollen.

Identification of the second major allergen of Japanese cedar pollen

Allergy: European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 1990
We isolated and characterized the second major allergen (Cry j II) from Japanese cedar pollen. We found that most patients with this pollinosis had IgE antibody to this protein in addition to IgE antibody to Cry j I; however, some sera reacted only with Cry j I or Cry j IL IgE‐ELISA inhibition studies revealed that Cry j I and Cry j II had no cross ...

Japanese Cedar Pollen Allergens in Japan

Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2022
Abstract: Pollen from members of the Cupressaceae tree family is one of the most important causes of allergic disease in the world. Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) and Chamaecyparis obtusa (Japanese cypress) are the most common tree species in Japan. The pollen dispersal season is mainly from February to May.

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.

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.

Glycoform Analysis of Japanese Cedar Pollen Allergen, Cry j 1

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2005
In our previous study (Y. Kimura et al., Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem., 69, 137-144 (2005)), we found that plant complex type N-glycans harboring Lewis a epitope are linked to the mountain cedar pollen allergen Jun a 1. Jun a 1 is a glycoprotein highly homologous with Japanese cedar pollen glycoallergen, Cry j 1.

Single-nucleotide substitution determines pollen production in Japanese cedar

2022
AbstractPollinosis, also known as pollen allergy or hay fever, is a global problem caused by pollen produced by various plant species1–6. The wind-pollinated Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) is the largest contributor to severe pollinosis in Japan, where increasing proportions of people have been affected in recent decades7.

[Japanese cedar pollen in house dust].

Arerugi = [Allergy], 2001
Caring for oneself against Japanese cedar pollinosis is important as well as receiving medical-care. Although the importance of avoiding pollen is described in the guideline for nasal allergy medical treatment, however, there is no information for effective dust cleaning for the home.

Characteristics of an Aminopeptidase from Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Pollen

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
A peptidase from Japanese cedar pollen, Jc-peptidase, was clarified to preferentially hydrolyze an MCA substrate of Phe-MCA (L-phenylalanyl-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide). This study examined substrate specificities of Jc-peptidase using oligopeptides. Jc-peptidase hydrolyzed Phe-Phe and Tyr-Phe effectively and hydrolyzed Leu-Phe, Met-Phe, and Arg-Phe ...

Japanese cedar/Japanese cypress pollen‐dispersion information and the initial therapy

Clinical & Experimental Allergy Reviews, 2010
SummaryThe original initial therapy against pollinosis was introduced to the clinical setting in Japan in the 1980s, led by the launch of anti‐allergic drugs that were expected to exert prophylactic effects. The purpose of the therapy was to control the typical pollinosis seen in Japan: that occurs due to Japanese cedar/Japanese cypress pollens.
