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 human thymus tissue, TE-3-positive subcapsular cortical epithelium contained natural thymosin alpha‑1.

    Summary · context
    In this study, we have produced two monoclonal antibodies, TE-3A and TE-3B, raised against human thymic stroma that bind to an intracellular antigen in cortical but not medullary thymic epithelium.

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