BACKGROUND
Carbohydrates expressed on allergens are known to be important for allergenicity. However, little is known about whether the carbohydrates drive the T(H)2 response.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine a role for carbohydrates expressed on Cry j 1, which is the major allergen of Cryptomeria
The glycoprotein allergen Cry j I from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen was treated with pepsin and glycopeptidase A to release asparagine-linked oligosaccharides. The reducing ends of the oligosaccharides were aminated with the fluorescent reagent 2-aminopyridine. The oligosaccharide
BACKGROUND
We have demonstrated that carbohydrates in Cry j 1, the major allergen of Cryptomeria japonica pollen, play a major role in promoting Cry j 1-specific Th2 response. However, little is known as to whether the carbohydrates directly participate in allergic responses.
OBJECTIVE
We sought to
The common cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) (Cups) pollen represents the first cause of respiratory allergies in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this study was to characterize a novel 14-kDa cypress pollen allergen (BP14) allowing a clear dissociation of IgE sensitization patterns among allergic
Cry jI, a major allergenic glycoprotein of Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar, Sugi), is the most common pollen allergen in Japan. Carbohydrate analysis and lectin staining indicated that Cry jI possesses the fucose/xylose-containing N-linked oligosaccharide which previously has been found in some
BACKGROUND
Adventitious root formation is an essential physiological process for successful propagation of cuttings in various plant species. Because coniferous species are highly heterozygous, propagation of cuttings is of great practical use in breeding. Although various factors influence
To investigate how radiocesium (137Cs) is retained in the O horizon via interactions with organic matter, we collected O horizon samples in Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and konara oak (Quercus serrata) forest sites in Fukushima during the 8 years following the Fukushima Dai-ichi
