Research Grade
Thymosin Alpha-1
Immune modulation & antiviral
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino acid peptide derived from thymosin fraction 5. It is a potent immunomodulator that enhances T-cell function, dendritic cell activity, and natural killer cell responses, with applications in infectious disease and immune deficiency research.
- ✓Enhances T-cell & NK cell activity
- ✓Antiviral & antibacterial immune support
- ✓Reduces chronic inflammation
- ✓Used in hepatitis B/C & cancer research
- ✓≥99% purity — HPLC verified
Mechanism of Action
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide naturally secreted by the thymus. It activates dendritic cells and T-lymphocytes via Toll-like receptor signalling, enhancing innate and adaptive immune responses. Research examines its role in immune reconstitution, antiviral defence, and tumour immunology.
