Administration of oligomannose-coated liposomes (OMLs) in mice can induce Th1 immune responses against antigens entrapped in the OMLs. In the present study, we investigated the anti-allergic effect of treatment with oligomannose-coated liposomes (OMLs) with entrapped Cry j 1, a major allergen of

Kampo is a traditional Japanese medicine originating from ancient Chinese medicine which included the administration of herbal prescription, lifestyle advice and acupuncture. Orally administered Kampo prescriptions are believed to be influenced by diet and intestinal microbiota. However, reports on

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is considered an important mediator in allergic and inflammatory reactions. To further investigate the role of PAF in allergic diseases, we examined the in vitro and ex vivo effect of anti-allergic drugs on PAF production by human neutrophils. Ketotifen and three

'Benifuuki', a tea (Camellia Sinensis L.) cultivar in Japan, is rich in anti-allergic epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG3''Me). 'Benifuuki' green tea and simultaneous addition of ginger extract remarkably suppressed cytokine (TNF-alpha and MIP-1alpha) secretion from mouse bone

Polysorbate 80 (PS80 or Tween-80) is often used as an additive to promote the rapid solubilization of pharmaceuticals in aqueous solutions. We investigated whether coinjection of a minimal amount of PS80 had a modulatory effect on the immunotherapeutic effects of Cry (Cryptomeria)-consensus peptide,

A 0.1% Ketotifen ophthalmic preparation was evaluated in 11 cases of conjunctivitis due to Japanese cedar pollinoisis (three cases also associated with vernal catarrh). The following results were obtained concerning the safety and the therapeutic efficacy of the preparation. (1) In the computation

Seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) induced by Japanese cedar pollens 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. To investigate the safety and efficacy of omalizumab in

Pollinosis, or allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis induced by pollen, is one of the most common diseases worldwide. In Japan, Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is a predominant allergic condition that affects more than one-third of all Japanese individuals. Pharmacological treatments

Japanese black vinegar (JBV) is a traditional vinegar manufactured with steamed unpolished rice. After screening, beneficial effects of JBV on IgE-mediated allergic responses were found. In this study, acetic acid-free JBV was used to evaluate its antiallergic effects. JBV suppressed degranulation

BACKGROUND The interest in anti-allergic immunoregulation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been growing over the last few decades. However, little is known about the effect of habitually intake of fermented milk on allergy development. METHODS An epidemiological study was carried out on the

TAK-427 (2-[6-[[3-[4-(diphenylmethoxy)piperidino]propyl]amino]imidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-2-yl]-2-methylpropionic acid dihydrate) is a novel anti-allergic agent that has both histamine H1-receptor antagonist and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of TAK-427 on acute

Patient satisfaction is recommended as a parameter to evaluate medical care from the aspect of patient. Currently, we developed a new patient satisfaction questionnaire in allergic rhinitis by means of internationally standardized psychometric validation and reliability studies. Using this

Perilla frutescens leaf extract (PFE) is known as a natural medicine with anti-allergic activities, although its mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of PFE on antigen-specific antibody and on cytokine production. Mice were immunized three times (weekly) with

Japanese cedar pollinosis is a typical allergic disease and has recently become a big social problem. Many population are suffering from this disease every year from the end of February to the beginning of April. In this study, we planned to examine the role of platelet-activating factor (PAF) in

The concentration of lyso-PAF in serum from untreated patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis, a typical allergic disease, was significantly higher than that in healthy controls. It was also found that the lyso-PAF level in serum from Japanese cedar pollinosis significantly decreased after therapy
