4°C Do Not FreezeIt recognizes an oncofetal glycoprotein with a single chain of 70kDa, which is identified as alpha fetoprotein (AFP). This MAb is highly specific to AFP and shows no cross-reaction with other oncofetal antigens or serum albumin. AFP is normally synthesized in the liver, intestinal tract, and yolk sac of the fetus. Antibody to AFP has been shown to be useful in detecting hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and germ cell neoplasms, especially yolk sac tumors.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed): Requires HIER using 10mM sodium citrate buffer pH 6.0 for 10-20min followed by cooling at RT for 20min
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Hep-G2 cells. Fetal liver or hepatocellular carcinoma
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C before opening. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. APC is light sensitive.
Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
