Vilon — Khavinson dipeptide bioregulator — immune / thymic

Vilon (Lys-Glu) is the simplest Khavinson bioregulator — a dipeptide that acts as a broad immunomodulator. Activates HLA-DR and CD54 expression in thymic cells, normalizes lymphocyte blast transformation, activates T-helper cells via apoptosis inhibition, and reactivates chromatin in aged lymphocytes. Used in diverse clinical contexts: thyroid disease, diabetes, radiation protection.
