General description

The AFP ELISA kit provides for the quantitative measurement of Alpha-fetoprotein in Cell Culture Supernatants, Plasma and Serum.

Application

Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)

Human α-fetoprotein (AFP) ELISA kit has been used to detect levels of AFP in comparison with photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-fetoprotein (AFP) facilitates the regulation of fatty acids in both fetal and proliferating adult liver cells. Overexpression of the gene has been observed in acute liver injuries, indicating active liver regeneration. AFP has been associated with fatty liver disease (FLD), a disease that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It functions as a tumor marker for HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma).
