Quick Overview for alpha Fetoprotein antibody (HRP) (ABIN7830276)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This alpha Fetoprotein antibody is conjugated to HRP

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Clone: AFP-01

Product Details anti-alpha Fetoprotein Antibody (HRP)

Purpose: Anti-alpha-Fetoprotein HRP

Characteristics: The mouse monoclonal antibody AFP-01 reacts with human alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), a 70 kDa oncofetal antigen. AFP is a major fetal plasma protein, but is not present in healthy adult tissues. Elevated AFP concentrations in adult plasma may be an early marker of hepatocellular carcinoma or teratoblastoma, while high concentrations in amniotic fluid may indicate severe congenital defects of a fetus.

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with activated horseradish peroxidase (HRP) of high specific enzyme activity under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free HRP are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: purified alpha-Fetoprotein

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA: The antibody AFP-01 has been tested as the detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of human alpha-fetoprotein in combination with antibody AFP-11 (ABIN93887).
