One of the best studied is the alpha-foetoprotein.
It cab easily be identified immunochemically because of its distinct antigenicity.
In electrophoresis its relative mobility is between the albumin and alpha-1 globulin fractions.
Its molecular weight is 64000, the carbohydrate content is relatively low.
The concentration of alpha-foetoprotein gradually decreases during foetal growth.
It is not found in normal adult serum, but reappears in most human developing hepatoma.
Applications:Suitable for use in FLISA, Immunoelectrophoresis and Single and Double Radial Immunodiffusion.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Immunoelectrophoresis: 2ml plasma or equivalent against 120ml antiserumDouble Radial Immunodiffusion: Use a rosette arrangement with 10ml antiserum in 3mmdiameter center well and 2ml plasma samples (neat and serially diluted) in 2mm diameterperipheral wells
Single Radial Immunodiffusion: 1% in the gel
