Alpha Fetoprotein antibody | 4A3

Elevated AFP levels are indicative of certain cancers, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma, cancer of the testes or ovaries or a malignant teratoma. During pregnancy increased levels of AFP may indicate neural tube defects such as spina bifida, while decreased levels could indicate Down’s syndrome.
Mouse anti Human alpha Fetoprotein antibody, clone 4A3 does not cross-react with human albumin.
