Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Three types of glycopolymers bearing multivalent N-glycans (plant complex type, high-mannose type, or animal complex type) were synthesized. Their suppressive functions on Th2 cellular immune response induced by Japanese cedar pollen allergen, Cry j1, were analyzed by using dendritic cells. And then, structural features of newly identified Japanese cypress pollen allergen, Cha o3, were analyzed. The glycoform of Cha o 3 is similar to those of major glycoallergens in cedar or cypress pollens (Cry j1 and Jun a1).
