Abstract

The levels of alpha-thymosins in human thymus, spleen and liver during normal growth and intestine and breast in malignant growth were estimated using radioimmunoassays specific for the N and C termini of human prothymosin alpha and the N terminus of human parathymosin alpha. The human tissue cell proliferation activity is associated in vivo with the expression of alpha-thymosins.
