Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Thymosin alpha-1 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin alpha-1.

    Summary
    In sodium dodecyl sulfate disc gel electrophoresis, radioactivity was recovered mainly in two peptides, corresponding to 16,000 and 11,000 daltons; the latter probably represents incomplete chains.

    In this study, Thymosin alpha-1 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Thymosin alpha-1.

    Tryptic digests of the translated peptides gave fragments that matched residues 15-19 of thymosin alpha1.

    In plain wordsIn lab tests, fragments of the translated peptides matched part of the thymosin alpha1 sequence.

    Summary
    Tryptic digests of each of these peptides yielded fragments corresponding to the sequence of residues 15--19 of thymosin alpha1; these peptides were characterized by cochromatography with digests of synthetic thymosin alpha1 and by Edman degradation.

    In this study, Thymosin alpha-1 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Thymosin alpha-1.
