Results from this study1

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

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In 17 thymomas studied by immunofluorescence, thymoma epithelial cells contained thymosin alpha‑1.

    In plain wordsIn people with thymoma, the tumour's epithelial cells contained the body's own thymosin alpha‑1.

    Summary
    The thymoma epithelial cells (specifically identified by their keratin content) contained thymic hormones (thymulin and thymosin alpha 1)

    Summary · context
    17 thymomas were studied by indirect immunofluorescence for the presence of thymic hormones and antigens of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

    This result measures the body's own Thymosin alpha-1. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
