Results from this study1

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

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Thymosin alpha-1 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin alpha-1.

    Pooled thymic factors (thymosin alpha‑1, thymopoietin pentapeptide, facteur thymic serique) had only small or no effects on surface antigens of peanut agglutinin-positive mouse thymocytes.

    In plain wordsIn mouse thymus cells in lab tests, a group of thymic factors including thymosin alpha‑1 had little or no effect on surface markers.

    Summary · context
    Peanut agglutinin-positive thymocytes, peanut agglutinin-negative thymocytes, cortisone-resistant thymocytes, and unfractionated thymocytes were prepared from congeneic C57BL/6 Tla mice.

    In this study, Thymosin alpha-1 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 Thymosin alpha-1.
