Biochem/physiol Actions

Increased concentrations of α-fetoprotein (AFP) in serum are less common in patients with malignancies of the gastrointestinal tract and of other organ systems with massive hepatic metastases. Hence, AFP determination is useful for the diagnosis of certain germ line tumors that contain yolk sac structures (testicular and ovarian tumors), hepatocellular carcinoma (hepatoma), and some malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. AFP serves as an important marker for certain genetic and embryonic defects. Routine screening of pregnancies with a risk of neural tube defects (spina bifida, anencephaly, and Down′s syndrome) may be facilitated by the monitoring of AFP levels.

General description

α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a one of the main glycoprotein present in the fetal liver, gastrointestinal tract, and yolk sac. AFP levels in amniotic fluid have been used as biomarkers for anencephaly and spina bifida.

AFP is a plasma protein found highly expressed in the human fetus where it functions to block the transport of estradiol across the placenta.

Monoclonal Anti-α-Fetoprotein (AFP) (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the C3 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with purified human α-fetoprotein.

Immunogen

human α-fetoprotein

Physical form

The product is provided as ascites fluid with 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative.
