Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Japanese cedar and cypress pollen allergens occur Lewis a antigen-containing N-glycans. Although the core structure of plant antigenic N-glycans, M3FX, suppress Th2 immune response, the immune activity of Lewis a antigen-containing N-glycans has not been elucidated. In this study, we purified a large amount of Lewis a antigen-containing N-glycans from glycoproteins expressed in Egeria densa and synthesized a multivalent glycopolymer. It was suggested that the glycopolymers suppressed antigen presentation by dendritic cell-like cell lines and may contribute to the suppression of Th2 immune responses.
