AFP Antibody (MA5-14666) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescent analysis of alpha-fetoprotein (green) in the endoderm derived from human ES cells. Embryoid bodies (EBs) were generated from the H9 embryonic stem cell line (WiCell Research Institute, WA09) using Gibco® KnockOut™ Serum Replacement. After four days in suspension culture, EBs were plated on Geltrex™-coated tissue culture-treated polystyrene plates and continuously cultured for 21 days. EB cultures were then fixed and permeabilized according to the 3-Germ Layer Immunocytochemistry Kit (Product # A25538) and blocked with 3% ... View More

Product Specific Information
MA5-14666 can be used for immunofluorescence analysis of AFP in the endoderm derived from human embryonic stem cells. By Western blot, MA5-14666 detects endogenous AFP protein in the early hepatocyte-like cells derived from human embryonic stem cells.
Product MA514666 is a smaller package size of MIA1305 (formerly sold as a Seradyn product).
Target Information
AFP (Alpha Fetoprotein) is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac, intestinal tract and the liver during fetal life. AFP expression in adults is often associated with hepatoma or teratoma. However, hereditary persistence of AFP may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and AFP and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. AFP is found in monomeric, dimeric, and trimeric forms. AFP can also bind to copper ions, nickel ions, fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of AFP in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly. High level of serum AFP has been identified in patients with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), teratoblastoma, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and germ cell neoplasms.
