Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα-1) is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland in 1972. As an immune-modulating peptide fragment, Tα-1 has been widely used in laboratory research as a tool for studying immune signaling, cytokine activity, and antiviral response pathways.
Research models investigate how Thymosin Alpha-1 interacts with T-cell maturation, antigen presentation pathways, and innate immune activation. In vitro studies explore its influence on dendritic cell activity, inflammatory cascades, and host–pathogen interactions.
All batches are manufactured in the United States under strict quality-control procedures and verified through third-party analysis for purity and structural integrity. For research use only in controlled laboratory settings.
