Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen as cysteine protease inhibitor

Abstract

Disclosed are molecules which inhibit the proteolytic activity of cysteine proteases such as Cathespin H, Cathespin L and papain, and methods for using molecules which have the biological properties of cytotoxic T-lymphoyte antigen for inhibiting cysteins proteases and inhibiting proteolglycan degradation.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
