Thymosin alpha1: isolation and sequence analysis of an immunologically active thymic polypeptide.
Open accessAbstract
The amino acid sequence of a biologically active polypeptide isolated from calf thymus, termed thymosin alpha1, has been determined. Thymosin alpha1 is a heat stable, highly acidic molecule composed of 28 amino acid residues. This peptide is one of several present in thymosin fraction 5 that may participate in the regulation, differentiation and function of thymus-dependent lymphocytes (T cells). A nomenclature for the family of polypeptides present in thymosin fraction 5 is suggested.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
