| Host organism: |
Mouse (Mus musculus) |
| Species reactivity: |
Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby, Human (Homo sapiens) |
| Specificity and cross-reactivity: |
After birth, During pregnancy increased levels of AFP may indicate neural tube defects such as spina bifida, It binds and transports various ligands such as bilirubin, It is a 68kD plasma protein found in fetuses over four weeks old, Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited, This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones, _x000D__x000D_Elevated AFP levels are indicative of certain cancers, _x000D__x000D_This item does not cross-react with human albumin, a member of the albuminoid superfamily, cancer of the testes or ovaries or a malignant teratoma, fatty acids, heavy metals and various drugs, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma, plasma levels drop to trace amounts in healthy adults, produced by the yolk sac and the fetal liver, steroids, while decreased levels could indicate Down's syndrome, with the highest concentration reached during the 12th to 16th week of gestation, ALPHA FETOPROTEIN This item recognises alpha fetoprotein (AFP), _x000D__x000D__x000D_ |
