Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is the major protein of fetal serum and most resembles albumen, which replaces it shortly after birth. It is produced by fetal liver and passes into the amniotic fluid (AF) via fetal urine. A small amount crosses the membranes into the maternal circulation.

Purification of canine alpha-fetoprotein and alpha- fetoprotein values in dogs
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 1995Canine alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was purified by a two step method. Anti-dog AFP antiserum was produced by immunizing rabbits with canine fetal serum proteins that failed to bind to an anti-dog whole adult serum affinity column. Canine AFP was then purified from amniotic fluid using affinity chromatography with anti-dog AFP antiserum.

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.

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.

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 ...

Alpha fetoprotein in embryonal hepatoblastoma
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970Summary Fetoprotein, normally present only in earlyfetal life, is reported here in the serum of a patient with hepatoblastoma. The serum concentration in this patient was similar to levels seen in early fetal life and is higher than that reported in association with most cases of hepatocellular carcinoma, regardless of age. The high fetoprotein level

ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN ANTENATAL DIAGNOSIS
The Lancet, 1973Based on 10 cases with abnormally high alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels during pregnancy the following combinations of the AFP concentrations in maternal serum and amniotic fluid seem to be possible in fetal distress: 1) High maternal serum and high amniotic fluid AFP in cases with chronic fetal distress or intrauterine death.

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.

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 ...
