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.

    In human and rodent thymic tissue, epithelial cells that bound A2B5 and tetanus toxin contained thymosin alpha‑1.

    In plain wordsIn tissue samples, the body's own thymosin alpha‑1 was found in thymic epithelial cells.

    Summary · context
    Using a monoclonal antibody (A2B5), which binds to GQ ganglioside, and tetanus toxin, which binds to GD and GT gangliosides, distinct regions of human and rodent thymic epithelial cells have been identified.

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