Thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1), a 28-amino acid peptide, was first described and characterized from calf thymuses in 1977. This peptide can enhance T-cell, dendritic cell (DC) and antibody responses, modulate cytokines and chemokines production and block steroid-induced apoptosis of thymocytes.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1112, 326-338 (2007-05-15)
Thymosin alpha1 (Talpha1), first described and characterized by Allan Goldstein in 1972, is used worldwide for the treatment of some immunodeficiencies, malignancies, and infections. Although Talpha1 has shown a variety of effects on cells and pathways of the immune system

Tregs are involved in immune disorder during sepsis; they can lead to a Th2 immune reaction. Their inhibitory effects can help alleviate inflammatory injury, but may also cause secondary immune inhibition. Thymosin-alpha1 is a polypeptide with powerful immunomodulatory activities. Current

Thymosin α1 (Tα1), a 28-amino acid Nα-acetylated peptide, has a powerful general immunostimulating activity. Although biosynthesis is an attractive means of large-scale manufacture, to date, Tα1 can only be chemosynthesized because of two obstacles to its biosynthesis: the difficulties in

In this study, a human thymosin-α1 (hTα1) fusion protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli). The hexahistidine-tagged hTα1 fusion protein was obtained in soluble form in cells of the engineered E. coli strain BL21 (DE3)/pET-28a-hTα1 that had been induced
