Abstract
We have for the first time shown that Acanthamoeba produces human brain microvascular endothelial cells permeability, which can be blocked by PMSF. A metalloprotease of approx. molecular weight of 150Â kDa is produced by A. castellanii (GAE isolate belonging to T1 genotype) and its role in the disease is suggested.
