目前已公认胸腺为免疫系统的主宰腺体,胸脉肽是胸腺分泌的一组多肽类激素,其作用在体内外可促进淋巴细胞合成DNA,诱导T细胞获得表面抗原,细胞免疫重建。临床上已用于纠正各种免疫功能紊乱性疾病。自从Goldstein等于1966年首先从小牛胸腺提取并命名为胸腺素以来,许多学者对胸腺提取物的研究逐渐深入,相继从猪、人胚等胸腺中分离得到类似物,兔胸腺肽的研究尚未见报道。 It has been recognized that the thymus is the dominant gland of the immune system. Thymopeptide is a group of peptide hormones secreted by the thymus, which can promote the synthesis of DNA by lymphocytes both in vitro and in vivo and induce T cells to acquire surface antigens and cellular immune reconstitution. Clinically used to correct a variety of immune disorders. Since Goldstein was first extracted from calf thymus in 1966 and named as thymosin, many scholars have made deep research on thymus extract. The analogues have been isolated from the thymus of pigs and human embryos one after another. However, the research of rabbit thymosin has not been reported yet.
