cedrela dugesii/phosphatase

Two new apotirucallane-type triterpenoids, cedrodorols A-B (1 and 2), along with seven known compounds (3-9), were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Cedrela odorata. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant inhibitory

The discovery of leads from medicinal plants is crucial to drug development. The present study presents a strategy based on GC-MS coupled with molecular docking for analysis, identification and prediction of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B inhibitors in the essential oil from Himalayan Cedar (HC).

We produced monoclonal antibodies against the major allergen of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen, Cry j I. KW-S10 antibody reacted only with Japanese cedar pollen and KW-S91 antibody reacted to most angiospermae pollens as well as Japanese cedar pollen. Using these antibodies, we devised

We have developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using two anti-Cry j I monoclonal antibodies (KW-S10 and KW-S131) for the quantitation of the major allergen from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria Japonica) pollen, Cry j I. Polystyrene microplates coated with KW-S131 were incubated with

We have devised a new method of counting pollen allergen particles, modified from the fluorescent immunoblotting technique of Schumacher et al. Airborne Japanese cedar pollen allergens collected on Burkard's sampling tape were transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was then treated

We devised a new counting method of pollen allergen particles which improved the fluorescence immunoblotting technique by Schumacher et al (1988). And by which airborne pollen allergens became visible under 10X magnifier or naked eyes. Airborne pollen allergens collected on the Burkard's sampling

Ectomycorrhizal fungi are an essential component of forest ecosystems, most of which can form edible and medical fruiting bodies. Although many studies have focused on the fructification of ectomycorrhizal fungi in phenology, the impact of environmental contamination, especially living garbage, on

We have developed a highly sensitive quantitative enzyme immunochromatography system for antigen-specific IgE, which is clinically important for the diagnosis of allergic diseases. The system uses alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-IgE antibody (ALP-anti-IgE) and immobilized target antigen, for

Soil enzymes play a key role in the circulation of nutrients and the functioning of the ecosystem. The aim of the study was to assess how the tree species of urban agglomerations affect soil quality and enzymatic activity (dehydrogenases DEH, catalase CAT, alkaline AlP and acid AcP phosphatase,

Anthropogenic changes in biodiversity and atmospheric temperature significantly influence ecosystem processes. However, little is known about potential interactive effects of plant diversity and warming on essential ecosystem properties, such as soil microbial functions and element cycling. We
