2. 27 AIM: To study the relationship between the expression of polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase (PMNE) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients.

10. The cosmetic composition containing an abalone viscera extract of high protein is excellent in promoting antioxidant activity and collagen production, and exhibits excellent effects in inhibiting the collagenase or elastase breakdown enzymes (MMP-1), and can thus be useful for removing wrinkles.

11. According to the present invention, the blood half-life (t1/2) and the area under the curve (AUC) of the drug concentration vs time curve are remarkably increased by adding an N-glycosylation site in animal cells through the mutation of N-terminal 1-25 amino acids, and thus the alpha 1-antitrypsin variant has excellent stability in the body and can maintain the effect of elastase activity inhibition.
