A Clinical Study of Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Pollen-Induced Asthma
Allergology International, 2008 Background: Grass and birch pollens are known to induce asthma. However there are few reports about other pollen-induced asthma. Japanese cedar is the most common allergen in rhinitis in Japan but is controversial on whether it can provoke asthma ...

A novel approach of preventing Japanese cedar pollen dispersal that is the cause of Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP) using pollen-specific fungal infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In Japan, Japanese cedar pollen dispersal is one of the major causes of pollinosis. Sydowia japonica is an ascomycetous fungus that grows exclusively on the male strobili of Japanese cedar, suggesting a possible mechanism for controlling pollen dispersal.

Efficacy of Japanese cedar pollen sublingual immunotherapy tablets for Japanese cypress pollinosis. [PDF]
J Allergy Clin Immunol Glob, 2023 We previously demonstrated the efficacy of Japanese cedar (JC) pollen sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) tablets for treating seasonal allergic rhinitis in a clinical trial (trial no. 206-2-1) that covered 5 pollen dispersal seasons from 2015 to 2019.Our aim was to perform post hoc analysis of the 206-2-1 trial data to evaluate the efficacy of JC pollen ...

Measurement of Japanese Cedar Pollen-Specific IgE in Nasal Secretions
Allergology International, 2014 Background: : Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) is the most common allergen for seasonal allergic rhinitis in Japan. Little is known about local production of immunoglobulin (Ig)E in people with or without Japanese cedar pollinosis. The aims of this study were

Relationship among airborne pollen, sensitization, and pollen food allergy syndrome in Asian allergic children [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Causes of pediatric pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) differ depending on airborne pollen levels in a particular region. We aimed to analyze airborne pollen counts, IgE sensitization rates, and PFAS incidence among children with allergies in
