We're trying to make ''E.coli'' solve Sudoku puzzle. Human and Computers can solve Sudoku, of course. But ''E.coli'', A lot of people are suffering from allergy every year. People sneeze and have trouble in stuffy nose because of house dust or pollen etc. Here, we mainly focus on the pollen allergy that is causing serious problems in many countries. To tackle on this problem, we use hyposensitization therapy which makes our body accustom to antigens by intaking them little by little every day. Our E.coli will constantly produce epitopes in our intestines, and the epitopes will be recognized by antibody. Here, we use epitopes of cedar pollen, but this method can be used in other types of allergy and we hope this method will be useful to cure allergy fundamentally.

Abstract

We're trying to make E.coli solve Sudoku puzzle. Human and Computers can solve Sudoku, of course. But E.coli, A lot of people are suffering from allergy every year. People sneeze and have trouble in stuffy nose because of house dust or pollen etc. Here, we mainly focus on the pollen allergy that is causing serious problems in many countries. To tackle on this problem, we use hyposensitization therapy which makes our body accustom to antigens by intaking them little by little every day. Our E.coli will constantly produce epitopes in our intestines, and the epitopes will be recognized by antibody. Here, we use epitopes of cedar pollen, but this method can be used in other types of allergy and we hope this method will be useful to cure allergy fundamentally.
