Following the immunosuppression of a T cell-dependent humoral response in mice as assay, we purified a peptide to homogeneity present at a concentration of 10-50 ng/kg of spleen whose properties were identical to those of the serum thymic factor.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
Immunosuppressive activities have been detected in bovine spleen extracts and attributed to the presence of a 'lymphocytic chalone'.
In this study, Thymulin (serum thymic factor) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Thymulin (serum thymic factor).
