| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
we examined whether mucosal route of immunizations with Transgenic rice(Tg-rice) containing hyporeactive whole T-cell epitopes of Cryj1 and Cryj2, can actually attenuate nasalsymptoms in a murine model of cedar pollinosis. As results, sublingual administration or natural feeding of Tg-rice was able to attenuates nasal symptoms at the induction and eliciting phase as well. Furthermore eosinophil infiltration was less in those mice, and antigen-specific Th2 responses(I-5, IL-13 production) of cervical lymph node lymphocytes was significantly downregulated with regulatory T cell induction. Purified protein body fraction more efficiently attenuated nasal symptoms with less amount rather than transgenic rice itself.
