ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN PREGNANCY

The Lancet, 1973
This 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.

Species cross-reaction of alpha-fetoproteins and break-down of the tolerance to alpha-fetoprotein by immunization with heterologous alpha-fetoprotein.

Tumor research, 1973
Immunological character of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was investigated in respect to immunological relationship of human and animal AFP; responses to the injection of homologous AFP; responses to injection of human AFP; and effects of maternal antibody against AFP to fetuses.

ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN ANTENATAL DIAGNOSIS

The Lancet, 1973
Based 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 embryonal hepatoblastoma

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1970
Summary 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 animal reproduction

Research in Veterinary Science, 2019
Alpha-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 ...

Alpha-Fetoprotein in Hepatitis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1974
Excerpt To the editor: During the recent years several investigators (1-5), using radioimmunoassay, have shown the presence of alphafetoprotein (AFP), not only in the fetal period or in the patient...

Radioimmunassay of ovine alpha-fetoprotein

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1978
Highly 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.

Hereditary persistence of alpha‐fetoprotein

Pediatric Blood & Cancer, 2009
AbstractHereditary persistence of alpha‐fetoprotein (HPAFP) is a rare benign autosomal dominant disorder. Here we report a 7‐year‐old healthy female who was found to have elevated alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) of 55–88 ng/ml over a 2‐year period. Subsequently, AFP was also determined to be elevated in another 4 out of 8 family members in three generations ...

Enzymoimmunoassay of human alpha-fetoprotein

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1975
A non-competitive method for the determination of human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in serum, using a pure specific antibody linked to glucose oxidase is described. When applied to human AFP, this method gives reproducible results in the range 0.7 to 15 ng/ml, in a relatively short time (6 hr).

Alpha-fetoprotein quantitation by radioelectrocomplexing

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1974
Abstract A recently described technique which uses electrical current to bring together immune reagents as well as to separate immune complexes from antigen or antibody excess has been used to measure alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in different preparations.
