Hence any test must be judged by its specificity up to that gestational time. In 470 early amniotic fluid (AF) samples obtained before 20 weeks there is only 1 group of disorder where the values fall outside the normal range as defined by the mean + or -2 standard deviations; this ...
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a major carcinoembryonic proteinproduced by the liver and the yolk sac during fetallife. Since blood AFP levelsare elevatedin more than 70% of hepatocellular carcinoma patients, it is considered a representative marker for this disease. AFP assay is helpful as an adjunc...
2.1.1Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) For decades, the most commonly used biochemical blood test to detect liver cancer is by screening foralpha fetoprotein(AFP).AFPis aglycoproteinwith a molecular weight of 70kDa, secreted by immature fetal liver cells and appears in cancer cells. AFP acts as a trans...
Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) was chosen as a model analyte that could specifically recognized by its antigen, and a tiny outfits equipped with a DPG was employed as the signal readout. Pt/SiO2 nanospheres were synthesized and modified with the detection antibody. In the presence of target, a ...

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a well-established biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we investigated the acetylation state of AFP in vivo. AFP acetylation was regulated by the acetyltransferase CBP and the deacetylase SIRT1. Acetylation of AFP at lysines 194, 211, and 242 increased...
Alpha 1-fetoprotein has a molecular weight of 69 kDa. It has a half-life of 3.5 days. It is produced by the liver and is the predominant protein during the fetal life produced by the fetal liver and the yolk sac with levels detectable in maternal circulation. In normal adults, circulating...
A simple and accurate label–free amperometric immunosensor for α–fetoprotein (AFP) detection is developed based on gold nanorods (GNRs) with different aspect ratio and compared with gold particles (GNPs). The positively charged GNRs and GNPs due to the surface immobilized cetyltrimethyl ammonium ...
normal tissue, the immature mouse uterine growth assay was utilized. Briefly, 13-15 day-old Swiss/Webster female mice, 6-8 g in body weight, were distributed into treatment groups of 5 mice per group so that each group contained animals of the same range of body weight. The peptide of ...
