Description
Thymosin Alpha-1 — abbreviated TA1 or Tα1, with the drug name thymalfasin — is a 28-amino-acid, N-terminally acetylated peptide first isolated from the thymus gland. It is one of the most studied immunomodulatory peptides. Resolve BioLabs supplies TA1 in 5 mg and 10 mg lyophilized vials.
What is Thymosin Alpha-1?
TA1 was isolated in the 1970s by Allan Goldstein and colleagues from “thymosin fraction 5”, a mixture of thymus-derived peptides. The synthetic version, thymalfasin, is approved in a number of countries outside the US but has not been approved by the FDA. Despite the similar name, it is structurally unrelated to thymosin beta-4, the parent of TB-500.

Research background
TA1 is studied for its effects on T-cell maturation and function, dendritic-cell activation through Toll-like receptors (TLR2 and TLR9), and cytokine balance. Clinical research outside the US has examined it in chronic hepatitis B and C, as a vaccine-response enhancer, and as an adjunct in oncology and sepsis studies.

Thymosin Alpha-1 FAQ
What is the difference between TA1 and TB-500?
TA1 is thymosin alpha-1, a 28-amino-acid immune peptide. TB-500 is based on thymosin beta-4, a different, unrelated protein involved in actin regulation.
Is thymalfasin the same as Thymosin Alpha-1?
Yes. Thymalfasin is the international nonproprietary name for synthetic Thymosin Alpha-1.
Is TA1 FDA approved?
No. It is approved in some other countries, but this material is sold for laboratory research only.
