Research overview
Thymosin α1 is an immunomodulatory peptide formed by cleavage of prothymosin α and first found in thymosin fraction 5, a crude thymus extract; it is now made synthetically. In laboratory studies it increased T-cell proliferation and inhibited the growth of several myeloma and lung-cancer cell lines.
Research areas
- T-cell function and immune signaling
- Thymic peptide research
