Cross-reactivity

< 0.5% cross-reactivity observed with available related molecules.< 50% cross-species reactivity observed with species tested.

Interference

No significant interference observed with available related molecules.

*The Sample Volume represented is based on the amount of sample incorporated into the reaction after taking into account the assay’s minimum required dilution for a given matrix. Serial dilution may be necessary to achieve some of the final sample volumes represented.

Product Summary

Simple Plex assay for the detection of human AFP in cell culture supernatant (CCS), serum, and plasma (EDTA/Heparin)

Precision

Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Each control was tested 16 times in one assay

Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Replicates of each control were tested in multiple assays performed by at least three technicians using two lots of reagents

Cell Culture Supernates, Serum, EDTA Plasma, Heparin Plasma

	Intra-Assay Precision		Inter-Assay Precision
Sample	1	2	1	2
n	16	16	35	36
Mean (pg/mL)	269	12419	306	13577
Standard Deviation	9.94	464	31.2	1368
CV%	3.7	3.7	10.2	10.1

Recovery

Recovery was not necessary as AFP shows natural linearity data from a neat sample to a 1:16 dilution.

Linearity

Samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of human AFP were serially diluted with Sample Diluent to produce samples within the dynamic range of the assay

Background: alpha-Fetoprotein/AFP

alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), is albuminoid superfamily protein that is synthesized in the fetus primarily by the liver, yolk sac, and tissues of gastrointestinal origin. It is one of the earliest markers of the hepatocyte lineage. AFP acts as a carrier protein for steroids, bilirubin, fatty acids, retinoids, and flavonoids. In addition, it can exert immunosuppressive activity, regulate cell proliferation and apoptosis, initiate intracellular signaling, and contribute to cell invasion. Altered levels of both fetal and maternal AFP have been associated with hypothyroidism, autoimmune disorders, and heart defects. Low maternal serum AFP levels are associated with a higher incidence of Down syndrome, whereas higher levels are associated with spina bifida and anencephaly. Elevated AFP levels are also coincident with liver, stomach, and germ cell cancers.
