Alpha-fetoprotein Antibodies
AND AFP ELISA kits, Alpha-fetoprotein Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Alpha-fetoprotein, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Alpha-fetoprotein in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Alpha-fetoprotein antibodies...
Designing a Western blot for Alpha-fetoprotein? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

AFP Overview
Facts about Alpha-fetoprotein.
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)
Binds copper, nickel, and fatty acids as well as, and bilirubin less well than, serum albumin. Only a small percentage (less than 2%) of the human AFP reveals estrogen-binding properties.
