alpha Fetoprotein antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6936367

Product Details anti-alpha Fetoprotein Antibody

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This alpha Fetoprotein antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Specificity: It recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70 kDa, which is identified as alpha fetoprotein (AFP). 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.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human.

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

Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human Alpha feto protein

Clone: C2-C3-MBS-12

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes:

Known_Application: Immunofluorescence (1-2 μg/mL), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT),(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95°C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes), Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

Positive_Control: HepG2 cells. Fetal liver or hepatocellular carcinoma.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
