Purification, identification and characterization of allergens increased the knowledge about the IgE reactivity of allergic subjects toward defined allergenic components. Molecular biology give the opportunity to produce the allergens in virtually unlimited reproducible amount, to further characterize the IgE reactivity of the allergenic molecule, and finally how this reactivity can be modified for therapeutic purposes. The DNA recombinant technique has been applied to the study of cedar/cypress/juniper pollen allergens and several molecules have been cloned. These molecules can be divided in four groups depending on their biologic activity: he Pectate lyases (rCry j 1, rCha o 1, rJun a 1); the Polygalacturonase (rCry j 2, rCha o 2); the Thaumatin-like pathogenesis-related protein (rJun a 3); the Calcium-binding protein (rJun o 2).

The origin of Cupressus sempervirens is apparently in the East Mediterranean. A nice description of the site of origin of Cupressus was provided by the Roman philosopher Plinius: \"cypress trees sprout spontaneously on Mt. Ida on the island of Crete, whenever the soil there is disturbed\". The aesthetic shape of the trees, the quality of their timber and their adaptation to harsh environmental conditions has attracted people. Certain varieties of the tree (e.g., var. Pyramidalis) were spread rapidly all over the Mediterranean and since the 16th century were introduced into the Western Hemisphere and other parts of the world. During historical times, Cupressus sempervirens was so widely used in the East Mediterranean countries that it reached the brink of extinction. Nowadays it is planted on a large scale as an ornamental plant as a windbreak and as a forest tree. Such plantations have various impacts on their environment, many positive ones, some negative ones, and some disastrous ones. This last aspect is where cypresses come in.</p>","PeriodicalId":76988,"journal":{"name":"Allergie et immunologie","volume":"32 3","pages":"141-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21660988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
