Background: Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) induced by Japanese cedar pollen is a substantial problem in Japan. Omalizumab, a novel humanized monoclonal anti-immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, has already been proven to reduce symptoms associated with SAR.

Pollen food allergy syndrome (PFAS) is caused by cross-reactivity with pollen; however, not all-pollen-sensitised individuals develop PFAS, and studies on the characteristics of PFAS development are limited in Japan.

Pollens destroy respiratory epithelial cell anchors and drive alphaherpesvirus infection [PDF]
Pollens are well-known triggers of respiratory allergies and asthma. The pollen burden in today's ambient air is constantly increasing due to rising climate change and air pollution.

Polymerization of Japanese cedar pollen antigen.
In order the immunotherapy of Japanese cedar pollinosis to be more improved, investigations were performed to provide polymerized form of antigen. Preliminary studies have already shown that crude extract was not feasible to be polymerized with glutaraldehyde.

Hypersensitivity to Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Pollen in Dogs.
Four of 51 dogs with chronic dermatitis were made to react to crude Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica, CJ) pollen allergen by the intradermal skin test (IDST). These four dogs had specific IgE to CJ as determined by Prausnitz-Küstner test. In the provocation test, nasal discharge increased 5 to 20 min after introduction of the crude CJ pollen ...

Value of eight-amino-acid matches in predicting the allergenicity status of proteins: an empirical bioinformatic investigation [PDF]
The use of biotechnological techniques to introduce novel proteins into food crops (transgenic or GM crops) has motivated investigation into the properties of proteins that favor their potential to elicit allergic reactions.

Prediction about Daily Scattering Count of Japanese Cedar Pollen.
We investigated the relationship between the daily count of pollen scattered, the count of days during the scattering period and the highest temperature during the sugi (Japanese cedar) pollen scattering season from 1983 to 1997, and whether prediction of the count of pollen scattered for the following day is possible.

We developed a fluorometric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for allergen-specific IgE in dogs with the use of monoclonal anti-dog IgE; we assayed IgE antibody to Japanese cedar pollen in the sera of dogs with Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Detection of New Antigenic Proteins in Japanese Cedar Pollen
In Japan, an increasing number of people suffer from pollenosis, a typical atopic disease. Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen is the most common allergen that causes pollenosis. Although Cry j 1 and Cry j 2 are the common allergenic proteins contained in the pollen, there is a small population of patients who exhibit positive skin reactions ...
