Quantitative structural and biochemical analyses of tight junction dynamics following exposure of epithelial cells to house dust mite allergen Der p 1

House dust mite allergen Der p 1 is a cysteine peptidase. Previously, we have suggested that the proteolytic activity of this allergen may contribute to asthma by damaging the barrier formed by the airways epithelium.
