Molecular Cloning and Immunochemical Characterization of a New Japanese Cedar Pollen Allergen Homologous to Plant Subtilisin-Like Serine Protease

World Allergy Organization Journal, 2010
Protease activities in allergen sources are thought to be involved in triggering allergic inflammation through the disruption of epithelial barrier or the induction of proinflammatory cytokines.

Recognition of T Cell Epitopes Unique to Cha o 2, the Major Allergen in Japanese Cypress Pollen, in Allergic Patients Cross-Reactive to Japanese Cedar and Japanese Cypress Pollen

Allergology International, 2009
Background: Pollens from species of the Cupressaceae family are one of the most important causes of respiratory allergies worldwide. Many patients with pollinosis have specific IgE to both allergens from Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress pollen. We set

Exposure to Japanese Cedar Pollen in Early Life and Subsequent Sensitization to Japanese Cedar Pollen.

Journal of Epidemiology, 2000
The effect of exposure to Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) in early life on subsequent sensitization to it was evaluated. Specific IgE antibody to JCP was examined in 440-504 school children in a rural town each year during 1995-98. The amount of dispersed pollen measured by a Durham sampler widely ranged from 165 to 5941 grains/cm2/year during this period.
