ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN PREGNANCY
The Lancet, 1973This letter presents a comparison of maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels in 2 groups of pregnant women of various parity at any stage of pregnancy. A total of 130 serum samples from primipara and multipara women were compared by radioimmunoassay; 64 sera were from primipara and 66 from multipara.

Epidemiology, 1993
Beginning in 1977, numerous studies have reported an association between high levels of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein, measured in early pregnancy, and low birthweight and perinatal death. It has been suggested, however, that these findings may be explained by bias.

Biochemical characterization of bovine alpha-fetoprotein and comparison with human alpha-fetoprotein
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1994This study compares the molecular, charge and lectin microheterogeneity of bovine alpha-fetoprotein (bAFP) with human (h) AFP. Molecular weights of bAFP (81 kDa) and hAFP (69 kDa) were detected by Western immunoblotting. Marked crossreactivity was found between bAFP and hAFP by Western immunoblotting but no crossreactivity was noticed by ...

Hereditary persistence of alpha-fetoprotein
Gastroenterology, 1990Persistently elevated alpha-fetoprotein levels were found in a 43-yr-old man in the absence of any specific pathology. Elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were subsequently found in three first-degree relatives, two siblings, and one daughter. This represents the third documented family with hereditary persistence of alpha-fetoprotein. The pedigree

Current opinion in obstetrics & gynecology, 1991
The past year has seen major challenges to existing maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein testing protocols for both neural tube defects and chromosomal anomalies. These challenges are reviewed along with the physiology of alpha-fetoprotein; the use of amniocentesis, ultrasonography, and additional serum markers in women with elevated alpha-fetoprotein ...

Alpha-fetoprotein in animal reproduction
Research in Veterinary Science, 2019Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a serum glycoprotein with structural and physico-chemical properties similar to albumin. However, the exact physiological functions of AFP remain unknown; those known to date include markers to pathological conditions including neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases, antioxidant effects, growth regulator in different cells ...

Radioimmunassay of ovine alpha-fetoprotein
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1978Highly purified ovine alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was used both for radioisotope labelling and as the reference standard in the double antibody radioimmunoassay of ovine AFP. The sensitivity of the assay is 2 ng/ml which is about 8000 times more sensitive than radialimmunodiffusion assay.

Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) biosensors
Clinica Chimica ActaAlpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein mainly produced during fetal development, and elevated levels in adults are frequently associated with liver diseases, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as certain germ cell tumors. Measuring AFP in biological samples is crucial for early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression, and ...
