Abstract

Abstract Thymosin α 1 , was chemically synthesized by the fragment condensation of the protected amino terminal tetradecapeptide with the protected carboxyl terminal tetradecapeptide and by solid phase peptide synthesis. Thymosin α 1 is active as an agent which affects regulation, differentiation and function of thymus dependent lymphocytes (T cells).
