  • Product overview

    ab108631 is for the quantitative determination of alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) concentration in human serum.

    Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 70,000 daltons. AFP is normally produced during fetal and neonatal development by the liver, yolk sac, and in small concentrations by the gastrointestinal tract. After birth, serum AFP concentrations decrease rapidly, and by the second year of life and thereafter only trace amounts are normally detected in serum.

    Elevation of serum AFP to abnormally high values occurs in several malignant diseases, most notably nonseminomatous testicular cancer and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. In the case of nonseminomatous testicular cancer, a direct relationship has been observed between the incidence of elevated AFP levels and the stage of disease. Elevated AFP levels have also been observed in samples with seminoma with nonseminomatous elements, but not in samples with pure seminoma. Therefore, AFP measurements are not recommended for use as a screening procedure to detect the presence of cancer in the general population.

Dear technical team, Our customer would like to purchase CEA ELISA kit and alpha Fetoprotein ELISA Kit. She has searched ab108631, ab108838, ab108635, ab99992 and asked well plate type.   Is it strip type or one plate type?  

Thank you for contacting us. I can confirm that all the mentioned kits (ab99992, ab108631, ab108635, ab108838) come with a 96-well strip plate (12x8).  Each strip (12 total) has 8 wells so the customer can use a strip at a time if they wish. I hop...
