T-Peptide

T-peptide, a Tuftsin analog, can be used for the research of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. T-peptide prevents cellular immunosuppression and improves survival rate in septic mice. T-peptide also can inhibit the growth of residual tumor cells after surgical resection[1][2].
