Abstract
An immunoassay for the polypeptidic thymic hormone thymosin .alpha..sub.1 is described. Determination of thymosin .alpha..sub.1 levels in biological fluids, particularly serum, provides a useful diagnostic test for immune deficiency diseases, autoimmune diseases, immunologically mediated diseases, neoplastic diseases and also allows one to monitor therapy with thymosin .alpha..sub.1 by following blood levels of the hormone.
