Immune Peptides

Immune peptides are compounds from or related to the thymus and immune signaling. This group includes Thymosin Alpha 1, thymulin (also sold as Thymalin), VIP, KPV and the short bioregulators Thymogen, Crystagen and Vilon.

What are immune peptides?

Many of these trace back to thymus research in the 1960s and 1970s. Thymosin Alpha 1 was isolated in 1977 from a calf thymus extract and later became the drug thymalfasin in some countries. Thymulin is a nine-residue thymic hormone that needs zinc to fold. VIP is a 28-residue neuropeptide with immune effects. Thymogen, Crystagen and Vilon are two- and three-residue peptides from the Khavinson bioregulator series.

Thymulin or Thymalin?

They’re the same compound. The name Thymalin first belonged to a Russian thymus extract, but what we sell under both names is the synthetic nonapeptide. Pick whichever name matches your protocol. Thymosin Alpha 1 is a different peptide entirely. You can look it up on PubChem.

Storing and handling immune peptides

Keep sealed vials in the fridge at 36 to 46 °F (2 to 8 °C) and away from light until you need them. When you reconstitute, let the vial reach room temperature, add the solvent slowly down the inside wall and swirl gently until it’s clear. Don’t shake it. Label each vial with the date you mixed it, and keep mixed vials cold. Each product page lists any compound that needs special handling, such as freezing or DMSO.

Immune peptides FAQ

Is Thymosin Alpha 1 the same as thymulin?

No. Thymosin Alpha 1 is 28 residues long. Thymulin is nine residues and needs zinc to fold.

Are these immune peptides approved drugs?

Not as sold here. They’re research-grade and for lab use only.
