Abstract
⺠Actinidin is a cysteine protease from kiwifruit with allergenic properties. ⺠We investigated if actinidin induces changes in morphology and adhesion of T84 cells. ⺠Actinidin led to cell rounding and desquamation of the T84 epithelial monolayer. ⺠The observed effects were protease-, time- and concentration-dependant. ⺠Viability of T84 epithelial cells was not compromised upon actinidin treatment.
