Immunogen Sequence: GI # 4501989, sequence 180-420
Recombinant α-fetoprotein
Application
Anti-AFP antibody produced in chicken is suitable for western blotting analysis at a dilution of 1:500, for tissue or cell staining at a dilution of 1:200.
Biochem/physiol Actions
α-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major serum protein encoded by the AFP gene in humans. It is produced by liver of a fetus. AFP is mapped within bands q11-22 of the long arm of human chromosome 4. Serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) level is elevated in various types of acute liver injuries, indicating active liver regeneration. It is useful for the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence in AFP-producing HCC.
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Albumin and alpha-fetoprotein are structurally related serum proteins, having a similar gene structure and, conceivably, a common evolutionary origin. To test their relative arrangement in the human genome, the serum albumin and alpha-fetoprotein genes were mapped by in situ hybridization

The performance of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after radiofrequency ablation was analyzed. One hundred and forty-six solitary HCC lesions treated by radiofrequency ablation were evaluated. Using the AFP cutoff level at ≥ 20 ng/mL, tumors were
