Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1)
Also known as Tα1 · Thymalfasin
Thymosin alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid N-terminally acetylated peptide originally isolated from thymic tissue. It is among the better-characterized immunomodulatory peptides, with published mechanism centering on TLR2 and TLR9 signaling in dendritic cells and downstream effects on T-cell differentiation. Unlike much of this catalog, it has an established clinical literature under the name thymalfasin.
Research applications
- TLR2 and TLR9 signaling assays in dendritic cell culture
- T-cell maturation and differentiation studies
- Cytokine profiling (IL-2, IFN-γ) in immune models
- Vaccine adjuvant research
Storage
Store lyophilized at -20°C protected from light. Reconstituted at 2-8°C for up to 30 days.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water down the vial wall. Swirl gently.
