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.

    Summary
    These cells are epithelial, judging by morphology and ultrastructure, and are positive for A2B5 and thymosin alpha 1 markers for thymic endocrine cells.

    Summary · context
    Cultures have been continuously passaged and maintained for over 6 mo., and a cloned cell line, TEA3A1, has been established.

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