“…Furthermore, we have isolated cDNA clones encoding these two major allergens, and revealed that Cha o 1 and Cha o 2 were highly homologous with Cry j 1 and Cry j 2, respectively, at the amino-acid sequence level (9,10). These findings are consistent with the clinical observation that many Japanese patients with pollinosis have specific IgE antibodies not only to C. japonica but also to C. obtus (11,12).…”

“…Cross-reactivity among conifer pollens has been documented (Aceituno et al 2000; MidoroHoriuti et al 1999; Ito et al 1995). This could be explained by the high similarity between the Japanese cedar allergen Cry j 1 and the major allergens of Mountain cedar (Jun a 1), Japanese cypress (Cha o 1) and Cupressus arizonica (Cup a 1).…”

“…Horiguchi and Saito first described the allergy to CJ pollen in 1962 [3]. It has since increased rapidly [4], [5] and now affects approximately 10% of the Japanese population [6]. So, the counting of the amount of its pollen is important in the environmental science [7].…”

A photoacoustic microscope (PAM), which includes a condenser microphone and a pair of linear-motordriven pulse stages, was specially designed for spectroscopic applications. The PAM was applied to measure the amount and number of pollen particles of Cryptomeria japonica (CJ), which is known for its allergic function against eyes and nose. The advantage of photoacoustic (PA) imaging is both its high sensitivity and its counting ability up to high concentrations of the specimen. The CJ pollen particles were fixed on a piece of adhesive tape or on albumen (egg white) on a glass slide set in a PA cell. The PA image showed the ability of this method to count CJ pollen from the severalhundred-milligram region to even a single particle. The PA signal obtained was integrated over the specimen surface. The dependence of the PA signal on the amount or number of the pollen particles was measured. The resulting coefficients of correlation of the calibration curves for the amount and the number of pollen particles were 0.94 and 0.97, respectively.
