Quick Overview for alpha Fetoprotein antibody (ABIN6936365)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This alpha Fetoprotein antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Clone: C3

Product Details anti-alpha Fetoprotein Antibody

Specificity: It recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70 kDa, which is identified as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) (ISOBM TD-2 workshop). This MAb 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.

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

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human. Monkey. Dog. Pig. Does not react with Cow, Mouse or Rat.

Purification: 1.0mg/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor by Protein A/G.

Immunogen: Alpha feto protein (AFP) Purified from serum of a hepatoma patient

Isotype: IgG2a kappa
