Immunotherapy

Thymosin alpha-1, which activates key immune cells 

such as T cells and NK cells, is effective in immunotherapy.


Why?

Why does Gangnam Seran call thymosin alpha-1 the strongest in the immune system?

Thymosin Alpha-1?

Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is one of the powerful immune-modulating peptides produced in the thymus, affecting various aspects of the immune system.


Tα1 plays a crucial role in enhancing the activity of T cells and NK cells, thereby strengthening the immune response and aiding the fight against diseases such as infections and cancer.


T cells?

  • A type of white blood cell that plays an important role in the body's immune system
  • Primarily belonging to the lymphatic system, fighting infections and regulating the immune system's response
  • Destroys cancer cells and infected cells

    Matures in the thymus, from which it derives its name

  • Has various types, each with its unique function

Main functions of T cells

1. Helper T cells

  • Regulate and enhance immune responses
  • Activate B cells to promote antibody production
  • Activate other immune cells to fight infections by secreting cytokines

2. Cytotoxic T cells

  • Directly attack and destroy infected cells or cancer cells
  • Recognize specific antigens and induce cell apoptosis in response

3. Regulatory T cells

  • Regulate immune responses to prevent excessive reactions and autoimmune diseases
  • Maintain the balance of the immune system

4. Memory T cells

  • Remember previously encountered antigens to trigger a faster and stronger immune response upon re-infection
  • Enable long-term immunity and the effectiveness of vaccines

NK (Natural Killer) cells?

  • An important part of the body's immune system, primarily responsible for identifying and eliminating infected cells and cancer cells
  • Unlike T cells and B cells involved in adaptive immune responses, part of the innate immune system
  • Not pre-programmed to recognize specific antigens, can directly attack targets without depending on antigen-presenting cells

Main functions of NK cells

1. Inducing apoptosis

  • Recognize specific proteins on the surface of infected or cancer cells to attack and destroy them
  • Secrete various chemicals that induce apoptosis in these cells

2. Infection defense/

cancer surveillance

  • Act as an initial defense line against viral infections and play a crucial role in suppressing cancer cell development
  • Serve as a key component of the innate immune system

3. Immune regulation

  • Secrete immune-regulating substances like cytokines and chemokines to activate or inhibit other cells of the immune system
  • Play an important role in regulating the intensity and scope of immune responses

Those Who Need 

Thymosin alpha-1 treatment

  • Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (to enhance effects and reduce side effects)
  • Chronic B and C hepatitis patients
  • Patients with primary/secondary immunodeficiency
  • Elderly patients with weakened immune systems

  • Those wishing to maximize the effect of the flu vaccine

  • Patients with atopic dermatitis, shingles, allergies

  • Individuals with weakened immune systems due to chronic fatigue or stress

Note that the effects and possible infections or inflammations after treatment may vary among individuals, so caution is needed.
