Description: It recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70kDa, which is identified as alpha fetoprotein (AFP) (ISOBM TD-2 workshop). This mAb is highly specific to AFP and shows no cross-reaction with other oncofetal antigens or serum albumin. AFP is normally synthesized in the liver, intestinal tract, and yolk sac of the fetus. Antibody to AFP has been shown to be useful in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and germ cell neoplasms, especially yolk sac tumors.
Immunogen: AFP purified from serum of a hepatoma patient was used as the immunogen for the Alpha Fetoprotein antibody.
Storage: Store the Alpha Fetoprotein antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
