Human Alpha Fetoprotein ELISA Kit

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a 70 kDa glycoprotein synthesized during fetal development by the liver, yolk sac, and gastrointestinal tract, with circulating concentrations declining rapidly after birth. In adults, elevated serum AFP levels function as a clinically established biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma, non-seminomatous germ cell tumors, and select gastrointestinal malignancies, and AFP quantification also supports prenatal screening workflows for neural tube defects and chromosomal abnormalities including trisomy 21.

This quantitative immunoassay from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 96-test plate-format kit intended for research use only, providing researchers with the core reagents needed to generate a standard curve and quantify AFP concentrations from human specimens. The kit supports investigations in oncology biomarker discovery, maternal-fetal medicine research, and hepatic disease studies, where quantitative AFP readouts help researchers examine tumor marker dynamics, evaluate disease progression in patient cohorts, and support translational research examining hepatic and germ cell tumor biology.

Each kit includes the components required to perform the assay workflow: pre-coated microplate wells, detection reagents, calibrator standards, and substrate. Researchers in clinical chemistry, hepatology, reproductive biology, and translational oncology laboratories rely on consistent, lot-validated reagents to generate reproducible quantitative data across experimental runs.
