Results from this study2

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

Natural levels measured2

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 normal OF1 mice, immunofluorescence showed patchy thymosin alpha‑1 staining in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the subcapsular and medullary thymus zones.

    In plain wordsIn normal mice, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 was found inside thymus epithelial cells in the outer and inner thymus zones.

    Summary
    With the immunofluorescence assay, patchy staining of thymosin alpha 1 was found in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the subcapsullary and medullary zones of OF1 thymus.

    Summary · context
    Distribution of thymosin alpha 1 in normal mice (OF1) or autoimmune mice (NZB) was investigated using immunocytochemical techniques on sections of GMA- and Epon-embedded mouse thymuses.

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

    In autoimmune NZB mice, the thymosin alpha‑1 immunofluorescence pattern was less precisely localized than in normal OF1 thymus.

    In plain wordsIn autoimmune mice, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 showed a less precise staining pattern in the thymus than in normal mice.
