alpha Fetoprotein antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026704

The Mouse Monoclonal anti-alpha Fetoprotein antibody (Clone C3) (ABIN3026704) specifically detects alpha Fetoprotein in IHC (p). The antibody is reactive with Human samples.

Quick Overview for alpha Fetoprotein antibody (ABIN3026704)

Target: alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) (alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This alpha Fetoprotein antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Clone: C3

Product Details anti-alpha Fetoprotein Antibody

Purpose: AFP Antibody / Alpha Fetoprotein

No Cross-Reactivity: Cow (Bovine), Cat (Feline), Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70 kDa, which is identified as Alpha fetoprotein (AFP). The AFP antibody is highly specific and shows no cross-reaction with other oncofetal antigens or serum albumin. Alpha fetoprotein is normally synthesized in the liver, intestinal tract, and yolk sac of the fetus. AFP antibody has been shown to be useful in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and germ cell neoplasms, especially yolk sac tumors.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Alpha fetoprotein purified from serum of a hepatoma patient was used as the immunogen for this AFP antibody.

Isotype: IgG2a, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the AFP antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. No special pretreatment is required for the immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
