BSBdash23_PURE_alpha1Fetoprotein_Antibody_IHCP_082416
IHC staining of anti-α-1-Fetoprotein antibody (clone BSB-23) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human fetal liver tissue. Following antigen retrieval using sodium citrate, the tissue was incubated with the primary antibody for 30 minutes at room temperature at 1 µg/mL. BioLegend's Ultra Streptavidin (USA) HRP Detection Kit was used for detection, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin.

Description

α-1-Fetoprotein (AFP) is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. AFP is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin. Since only traces of AFP are found in adult serum, elevated levels suggest either a benign or malignant lesion of the liver, a Yolk-Sac Carcinoma, or one of a few other tumors.
