The nonatetracontapeptide corresponding to the entire amino acid sequence of thymopoietin III was synthesized by assembling ten peptide fragments in solution followed by deprotection with 1M trifluoromethanesulfonic acid-thioanisole (molar ratio, 1 : 1) in trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of m-cresol. The synthetic nonatetracontapeptide was tested for effect on impaired T-lymphocyte transformation by phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in common variable immunodeficiency.The synthetic nonatetracontapeptide was found to have restorin activity on the T-lymphocyte transformation by PHA. However, the restoring activity of the synthetic nonatetracontapeptide was lower than that of the synthetic thymopoietin I at a dos of 2 μg/ml.

三氟甲磺酸-
噻吩甲烷(摩尔比,1:1)在
三氟乙酸中脱保护来合成的。合成的非九十三肽被测试了其在常见变异性免疫缺陷中对植物血凝素(PHA)诱导的受损T淋巴细胞转化的影响。发现合成的非九十三肽对PHA诱导的T淋巴细胞转化具有恢复活性。然而,合成的非九十三肽的恢复活性在2μg/ml剂量下低于合成
胸腺生成素I的活性。
