High-Purity Immune Modulating Research Peptide
$85.00$65.00
Thymosin Alpha 1 (TA1) is a naturally occurring peptide composed of 28 amino acids, originally derived from the thymus gland. It serves as a potent immune system regulator, primarily researched for its ability to enhance T-cell activation, stimulate cytokine production, and modulate the body’s overall immune response.
The 10mg formulation from Modern Peptides is supplied as a freeze-dried, lyophilized powder with an independently verified purity of 99.22%.
Core Research Highlights
In laboratory and in-vitro environments, Thymosin Alpha 1 is investigated for:
T-Cell Maturation & Activation: Researchers study its role in promoting the maturation of T-cells and enhancing their function, which is critical for identifying and neutralizing pathogens.
Cytokine Modulation: It is used to observe the production and release of various cytokines, such as interferons and interleukins, which coordinate immune signaling.
Anti-Pathogenic Potential: Studies explore its efficacy in research models involving chronic viral infections (such as Hepatitis B and C) and certain fungal infections.
Immunological Balance: Researchers evaluate its potential to restore immune homeostasis in models where the immune system is either suppressed or overactive.
Adjuvant Research: It is frequently examined as an adjuvant to increase the effectiveness of various vaccines in experimental settings.
