Human Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) ELISA Kit

Human Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) ELISA Kit

This ELISA kit is designed to detect Human Alpha-Fetoprotein (Human AFP). The assay plate has been pre-coated with mouse anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein monoclonal antibody. When the sample containing Alpha-fetoprotein is added to the plate, it binds to the antibodies coated on the wells. Then, a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-Human Alpha-fetoprotein Antibody is added to the wells and binds to Alpha-fetoprotein in the sample. After washing the wells, substrate solutions are added, and the color intensity is directly proportional to the amount of Human Alpha-fetoprotein present. The reaction is stopped by adding an acidic stop solution, and the absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

Background Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is classified as a member of the albuminoid gene superfamily consisting of albumin, AFP, vitamin D (Gc) protein, and alpha-albumin. AFP is a glycoprotein of 591 amino acids and a carbohydrate moiety. AFP is one of the several embryo-specific proteins and is a dominant serum protein as early in human embryonic life as one month, when albumin and transferrin are present in relatively small amounts. It is first synthesized in the human by the yolk sac and liver(1-2 months) and subsequently predominantly in the liver. A small amount of AFP is produced by the GI tract of the human conceptus. It has been proved that AFP may reappear in the serum in elevated amounts in adult life in association with normal restorative processes and with malignant growth. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a specific marker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), teratoblastomas, and neural tube defect (NTD). Cancer Immunotherapy Immune Checkpoint Immunotherapy Targeted Therapy
