Abstract: Provided are a neutrophil activation regulator and a therapeutic agent against diseases caused by neutrophil activation. A thrombin-like enzyme is used as an active ingredient of the neutrophil activation regulator and the therapeutic agent against diseases caused by neutrophil activation.

Abstract: The present invention provides an agent for reducing a side effect of an anticancer drug, which comprises a thrombin-like enzyme.

Abstract: The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for a lower urinary tract disease such as cystitis, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis, benign prostatic hyperplasia etc., which are considered as refractory disease, and an agent for improving a lower urinary tract symptom associated with the lower urinary tract disease.

Abstract: A malignant tumor-inhibiting preparation is provided which comprises Des A fibrin and therefore can inhibit the spreading and migration of malignant tumor cells and thereby can inhibit the malignant tumors.

Abstract: A preparation for inhibiting local invasion of malignant tumors is provided which comprises batroxobin and therefore can inhibit local invasion of malignant tumors. A preparation for encapsulating malignant tumor tissues is also provided which comprises batroxobin and therefore can cause or promote formation of capsule-like tissue around malignant tumor tissues.

Abstract: The present invention provides an activating agent of stem cells and/or progenitor cells comprising a thrombin-like enzyme which can be used in regenerative medicine, and particularly in regenerative medicine utilizing self-regeneration, acting promptly and moderately depending on the state of advancement and the degree of injured organs and/or tissues to which regenerative medicine is applied, with few or no side effects. The present invention also provides a method for activating stem cells and/or progenitor cells in an animal comprising the step of administering to the animal an effective amount of a thrombin-like enzyme and use of the thrombin-like enzyme for activating stem cells and/or progenitor cells.
