α-Fetoprotein Antibody（AFP-Ab）

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein, which contains about 3% sugar and has a molecular weight of about 70,000.

Under normal circumstances, this protein mainly comes from the liver cells of the embryo. Alpha-fetoprotein disappears from the blood about two weeks after the birth of the fetus. Therefore, the content of alpha-fetoprotein in normal human serum is very small, less than 20 micrograms/liter; however, When liver cells become cancerous, they resume the function of producing this protein, and as the condition worsens, its content in the serum will increase sharply. Alpha-fetoprotein has become a specific clinical indicator for the diagnosis of primary liver cancer. .

When diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), it is necessary to observe not only its absolute value, but also its dynamic changes. The rise and fall of its concentration has a great influence on the development of the disease, observation of efficacy, and observation of recurrence of liver cancer. Great value.

The alpha-fetoprotein AFP provided by our company is a genetically recombinant product expressed in mammalian cells. It has high purity, excellent immunogenicity and biological activity. Antibodies prepared using this protein can be used as core raw materials for diagnostic kits related to primary liver cancer, and the protein itself can also be used as a calibrator.

Our company's AFP antibodies have high titers and can be directly used in the development or production of AFP detection reagents.
