Preventative Effect of a Flavonoid, Enzymatically Modified Isoquercitrin on Ocular Symptoms of Japanese Cedar Pollinosis

Allergology International, 2009
Background: Flavonoids are nutrients that exert anti-allergic effects. We investigated the preventative effect of enzymatically modified isoquercitrin (EMIQ), a flavonoid, to relieve the symptoms of Japanese cedar pollinosis. Methods: In a parallel-group,

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.

Japanese cedar pollinosis: Discovery, nomenclature, and epidemiological trends [PDF]

Proceedings of the Japan Academy Series B: Physical and Biological Sciences, 2014
The history of pollinosis in Japan before the discovery of Japanese cedar pollinosis was presented in part I in this paper. Until early 1960s, it was believed that there was no pollinosis in Japan except one case of ragweed pollinosis. The summary of how the Japanese cedar pollinosis was discovered and named was presented in part II, by referring to ...

Non-IgE,-IgG4 Antibody to Japanese Cedar Pollen Allergens:Comparison of Its Prevalence and Titers between Pollinosis Patients and Non-Patients

Allergology International, 2005
Background: IgG antibody to allergens in the serum of pollinosis patients is not routinely measured, because there are no simple methods for assaying small amounts of specific IgG in the serum ; so far only IgE and IgG4 antibodies have been assayed.
