    Summary · context
    The specific compartmentalization of intrathymic lymphoid cells in different steps of T-cell maturation and the involvement of thymosin components in these steps prompted us to evaluate the localization of epithelial cells synthesizing various thymosin components.

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