Popis: Thymosin beta 9, a 41 residue thymic polypeptide, has been synthesized by a solid phase method. A modification of the low HF method was used to deprotect and cleave the peptide from the resin. Thymosin beta 9 was then obtained in analytically pure form by a one-step purification procedure in 32% yield. The activity of thymosin beta 9 in the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase assay was greater than calf thymus fraction 5, but comparable to thymosin beta 4. In contrast to thymosin alpha 1, neither beta 4 nor beta 9 was active in the rosette inhibition assay.
