Alpha Fetoprotein Antibody (clone C3)

Mouse monoclonal antibody suitable for immunohistochemistry.



Functional Aspects:

Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is an oncofetal antigen found in body fluids, which if detected in high concentrations has clinical implications. AFP is expressed in fetal liver but is not present under normal circumstances in healthy adult tissues. It is expressed in a proportion of germ cell tumors, with high frequency in yolk sac tumors. Clone C3 was raised against alpha fetoprotein affinity purified from hepatoma patient serum.
