Abstract | BACKGROUND: Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen is a major cause of seasonal pollinosis, and more than 10% of Japanese people suffer from this allergic disorder. However, only two major pollen allergens, Cry j 1 and Cry j 2, have been identified and exclusively characterized. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore and identify important Japanese cedar pollen allergens other than Cry j 1 or Cry j 2. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
