Thymosin Alpha-1
Tα1, N-Acetyl-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-Ile-Thr-Thr-Lys-Asp-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a potent immunomodulatory peptide that enhances T-lymphocyte function, activates natural killer cells, and strengthens both innate and adaptive immune responses. Originally derived from the thymus gland, it plays a crucial role in immune system maturation and has been extensively studied for treating viral infections, cancer, and immunodeficiency disorders.
Thymosin Alpha-1 Dosing Guide
Primary Benefits
- Enhanced T-lymphocyte maturation and function
- Increased natural killer cell activity by up to 45%
- Improved immune response to infections and vaccines
- Reduced opportunistic infection rates by 58%
- Enhanced interferon-alpha production and signaling
How It Works
Thymosin Alpha-1 binds to specific receptors on T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells, enhancing T-cell differentiation, promoting regulatory T-cell function, and stimulating interferon-alpha production. It activates the TLR9 pathway, increases interleukin-2 production, and enhances natural killer cell cytotoxicity through improved immune cell communication and activation cascades.
Quick Reference
Typical Dosage Range
Standard protocol is 1.6 mg subcutaneous injection twice weekly (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday schedule). Some protocols use 1.6 mg daily for acute conditions. Maintenance therapy typically continues for 3-6 months with periodic assessment. Immunocompromised patients may require longer duration or higher frequency dosing.
Administration Methods
Subcutaneous injection using insulin syringes in abdomen, thigh, or upper arm areas. Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy. Reconstitute lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water immediately before use. Administer at consistent times (morning/evening) to maintain steady immune activation. Store reconstituted solution refrigerated and use within 14 days.
