General description

The AFP ELISA kit provides for the quantitative measurement of Alpha-fetoprotein in Cell Culture Supernatants, Plasma and Serum.

Application

Please refer to the attached General ELISA KIT Procedure (sandwich, competitive & Indirect ELISA)

Human α-fetoprotein (AFP) ELISA kit has been used to detect levels of AFP in comparison with photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α-fetoprotein (AFP) facilitates the regulation of fatty acids in both fetal and proliferating adult liver cells. Overexpression of the gene has been observed in acute liver injuries, indicating active liver regeneration. AFP has been associated with fatty liver disease (FLD), a disease that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It functions as a tumor marker for HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma).

The majority of tumor-specific antigens are intracellular and/or secreted and therefore inaccessible by conventional chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Given that all intracellular/secreted proteins are processed into peptides and presented by class I MHC on the surface of tumor

In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with extrahepatic metastasis, the lung is the most frequent site of metastasis. However, how the lung microenvironment favors disseminated cells remains unclear. Here, it is found that nidogen 1 (NID1) in metastatic HCC cell-derived extracellular

In the present study, we evaluated the performance of different protocols for the hepatic differentiation of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) in microfluidic biochips. Strategies for complete and partial on-chip differentiation were tested. Unlike full on-chip differentiation, the transfer of
