Overview
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring thymic peptide that plays a critical role in immune regulation. It works by stimulating T-cell production and activity, enhancing the body’s ability to respond to pathogens and modulate inflammatory processes. Preclinical and clinical research has investigated its potential in managing immune deficiencies, chronic infections, cancer immunotherapy, and vaccine response enhancement.
Beyond its immune functions, emerging research suggests Tα1 may also impact neurodevelopment and cognitive performance through immune–nervous system interactions.
Research
Animal studies have demonstrated that peripheral administration of Thymosin Alpha-1 can improve cognitive abilities early in life. In neonatal mice, Tα1 treatment:
-
Promoted Neurogenesis: Increased populations of hippocampal neural progenitors and differentiated neurons (BrdU+, nestin+, Tbr2+, BrdU+/DCX+, BrdU+/Iba1+, BrdU+/NeuN+).
-
Boosted Neurotrophic Factors: Elevated brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
-
Reduced Inflammation: Lowered IL-6 and TNF-α, while increasing IL-4 and interferon-gamma.
-
Induced Th1 Immune Bias: Positive link between neurotrophic factor expression and Th1/Th2 ratio.
-
Provided Neuroprotection: Prevented lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced disruption of hippocampal neurogenesis.
These findings indicate that Tα1 may exert neuroprotective and cognitive benefits by modulating systemic immunity and enhancing neuronal growth factors.

Peptide Storage

Best Practices for Storing Peptides
To maintain the reliability of laboratory results, correct peptide storage is essential. Proper storage conditions help preserve peptide stability for years while protecting against contamination, oxidation, and breakdown. Although certain peptides are more sensitive than others, following these best practices will greatly extend their shelf life and structural integrity.
- Short-Term Storage (days to months): Keep peptides cool and protected from light. Temperatures below 4 °C (39 °F) are generally suitable. Lyophilized peptides often remain stable at room temperature for several weeks, but refrigeration is still preferred if use is not immediate.
- Long-Term Storage (months to years): Store peptides at –80 °C (–112 °F) for maximum stability. Avoid frost-free freezers, as defrost cycles can cause damaging temperature fluctuations.
- Minimize Freeze–Thaw Cycles: Repeated freezing and thawing accelerates degradation. Instead, divide peptides into aliquots before freezing.
Preventing Oxidation & Moisture Damage
Peptides can be compromised by exposure to moisture and air—especially immediately after removal from a freezer.
- Let the vial warm to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
- Keep containers sealed as much as possible, and if possible, reseal under a dry, inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
- Amino acids like cysteine (C), methionine (M), and tryptophan (W) are particularly sensitive to oxidation.
Storing Peptides in Solution
Peptides in solution have a much shorter lifespan compared to lyophilized form and are prone to bacterial degradation.
- If storage in solution is unavoidable, use sterile buffers at pH 5–6.
- Prepare single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
- Most peptide solutions are stable for up to 30 days at 4 °C (39 °F), but sensitive sequences should remain frozen when not in use.
Containers for Peptide Storage
Select containers that are clean, intact, chemically resistant, and appropriately sized for the sample.
- Glass vials: offer clarity, durability, and chemical resistance.
- Plastic vials: polystyrene (clear but less resistant) or polypropylene (translucent but chemically resistant).
- Peptides shipped in plastic vials may be transferred to glass for long-term storage if desired.
