Background

Thymosin alpha 1 is a protein that helps mediate immune function by conferring resistance to various infections, and has two isoforms, with lengths of 111 and 110 amino acids and both weighing approximately 12 kDa. Current studies are being done on several diseases and disorders related to this protein including severe acute respiratory syndrome, myasthenia gravis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, male infertility, thymoma, pituitary adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastoma, sepsis, tonsillitis, gastric adenocarcinoma, and breast cancer. Thymosin alpha 1 has also been shown to have interactions with HIST1H4A, HIST1H4B, HIST1H4C, HIST1H4D, and HIST1H4E in pathways such as the C-MYC transcriptional activation pathway.

1. What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
   • Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
