Thymosin α-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland — the gland that trains the body's immune cells. Lab studies have looked at how it switches on immune-cell receptors and how it affects two main types of immune signalling (Th1 and Th2) in cells and lab models.

Research on thymosin α-1 investigates a 28-residue acetylated thymic peptide originally isolated from calf thymus and characterised by amino-acid sequence analysis. Mechanistic work in murine and human cell systems examines the peptide’s activation of Toll-like receptor signalling on dendritic cells and its role in T-cell maturation and cytokine responses. Cited studies focus on the molecular characterisation and immunological pharmacology of the peptide.

Reconstitution & storage
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic or sterile water to the concentration required by the researcher’s own protocol. Lyophilised: store at 2–8 °C, protected from light; refer to the lot CoA for the expiration date. Reconstituted: refrigerate at 2–8 °C and use within the researcher’s validated window; hold at −20 °C for longer-term storage.
Documentation — batch Certificate of Analysis (HPLC, third-party) provided for the lot shipped.
