From
Recombinant Antibody
Specificity
This antibody binds human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). AFP is made in the liver of developing babies. It binds copper, nickel, and fatty acids as well as, and bilirubin less well than, serum albumin. AFP levels in healthy adults is very low. Elevated levels of AFP in adult human blood is a marker for cancer.
Alternative Names
AFP; Alpha-fetoglobulin; A-Feto-protein
UniProt
P02771
Immunogen
The original antibody was generated by immunizing healthy 6-8 week old BALB/c mice with human alpha-fetoprotein.
Application Notes
This antibody is capable of binding human alpha-fetoprotein and can recognize human HepG2 hepatoma cells in an immunofluorescence staining. The additional binding characterization of this antibody for human alpha fetoprotein was done using ELISA. This antibody has a wide detection range, high sensitivity with detecting concentration of hAFP in the range of 2 ~ 400ng / mL, the detection limit is 2ng /mL. (CN108484762).
