Roche Diagnostics Corporation Cell Marque Reagent, Alpha-Fetoprotein

Roche Diagnostics Corporation cell marque reagent, alpha-fetoprotein; positive staining with anti-afp is seen in hepatocytes of fetal liver and hepatoma. since only traces of afp are found in adult serum, elevated levels suggest either a benign or malignant lesion of the liver, a yolk sac carcinoma, or one of a few other tumors. correspondingly, in conjunction with elevated serum levels, afp has been immunohistochemically demonstrated in yolk sac tumor of gonadal and extragonadal sites, in hepatic malignancies, and a few other neoplasms. the antigen is not denatured by most fixatives. - ROCHMSD (Additional S&H or Hazmat Fees May Apply)
