| Background of the target antigen | Alpha fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatoma or teratoma, Alpha fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms, ESTs have been isolated from normal human brain, Expression has been documented in human adrenal, However, The level of alpha fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly, The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and binds copper, and pancreas, and the alpha fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4, embryo and uterus tissue libraries, fatty acids and bilirubin, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology, liver, liver/spleen, nickel, ovary, testis, Alpha 1 Fetoprotein is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life |
