Thymosin Alpha-1
Ta1
Also: Zadaxin
§ Overview
A 28-amino acid peptide originally isolated from thymic tissue. Thymosin Alpha-1 is a potent immune modulator that enhances T-cell function and has been approved in over 30 countries for treatment of hepatitis B and C. It's used off-label for immune support and cancer adjuvant therapy.
§ Mechanism
Activates dendritic cells, enhances T-cell differentiation and maturation, stimulates natural killer cell activity, and modulates cytokine production. Acts through Toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR9) to bridge innate and adaptive immunity.
§ Common Uses
- → Immune modulation
- → Hepatitis B/C treatment
- → Cancer adjuvant
- → Chronic fatigue
- → Infection resistance
§ Reported Side Effects
- · Injection site pain
- · Fatigue (temporary)
- · Mild fever (rare)
