| Immunogen | Alpha feto protein (AFP) Purified from serum of a hepatoma patient (Uniprot: P02771) |
| Localization | Cytoplasmic |
| Marker | Hepatocellular/Germ Cell Tumor Marker |
| Specificity | It recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70kDa, which is identified as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (ISOBM TD-2 workshop). This monoclonal antibody 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. |

| Application Notes | Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined. Use in Sandwich -ELISA reported in scientific literature (PMID:31921529). |
| Theoretical MW | 70 kDa. Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors. |
| Storage | Store at -20 to -80C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Buffer | 10 mM PBS |
| Preservative | No Preservative |
| Concentration | 1.0 mg/ml |
| Purity | Protein A or G purified |
