Background of alpha-Fetoprotein/AFP
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a major plasma protein in the fetus, where it is produced by the yolk sac and liver. Direct confirmation of the assignment of the AFP gene to chromosome 4 by in situ hybridization was provided by Harper and Dugaiczyk (1983), who placed the gene in the q11-q22 region, the same region as the albumin gene. Structure and evolution of human alpha-fetoprotein deduced from partial sequence of cloned cDNA.As the major fetal serum protein, Alpha-fetoprotein is not essential for embryonic development but is required for female fertility.

Answer
The anti-AFP/Alpha 1 Fetoprotein Monoclonal antibody (MA1001) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with feline tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in feline you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
