α-fetoprotein（AFP）

Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein, a fetal globulin containing about 3% sugar and the molecular weight is about 70000. The AFP protein usually and mainly comes from embryo stem cell, and it can disappear from the blood about two weeks after birth, so normally AFP protein is little in blood serum, less than 20mg/ml. When the hepatocellular carcinoma occurs, this protein is produced again. AFP increases rapidly in the serum following the disease deteriorated. AFP has become a specific clinical index of the diagnosis of primary liver cancer.

     The detection of AFP for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not only need to observe its absolute value but also need to observe its dynamic change and the same time. The concentration change of AFP has a great value for observing the advancing of disease, observing the curative effect, and observing the recurrence of  hepatocellular carcinoma.

     The AFP provided by our company is gene recombinant protein of mammalian cell, with a high purity, good immunogenicity and high biological activity. Antibody to this antigen protein can be used as the core material of liver cancer early diagnosis kit and the protein itself can also be used as calibration items.
