In mononuclear and fibroblastic cells, the immunoreactive material was prothymosin alpha rather than the amino-terminal peptide thymosin alpha‑1.
In plain wordsIn lab tests on cells, the material found was prothymosin alpha, not the body's own thymosin alpha‑1.

We reported here that the material present in the cells is prothymosin alpha rather than the amino-terminal peptide thymosin alpha 1.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
To investigate the regulation of prothymosin alpha, we examined its mRNA and protein levels during the cell cycle of mononuclear cells and fibroblastic cells.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin alpha-1. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
