Immunomodulation
Immunomodulation refers to the alteration of immune system activity — either enhancement or suppression — by an exogenous compound. Research examines immunomodulatory effects through markers such as cytokine expression, NF-κB signaling, immune cell activation, and inflammatory mediator levels.
KPV has been studied for its effects on NF-κB nuclear translocation in cell culture models. Selank, derived from tuftsin (an immunomodulatory peptide), has been examined for effects on immune cell function. TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) originates from thymic tissue, an organ central to immune system development.
