Scientific Data
Detection of Human and Rat alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue and H4‑II‑E‑C3 rat hepatoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.2 µg/mL of Chicken Anti-Human/Rat alpha ‑Fetoprotein/ AFP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1369) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Chicken IgY Secondary Antibody. A specific band was detected for alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP at approximately 70 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP in BG01V Human Embryonic Stem Cells. a-Fetoprotein/AFP was detected in immersion fixed BG01V human embryonic stem cells using Chicken Anti-Human/Rat a-Fetoprotein/AFP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1369) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Chicken IgY Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL016) and counterstained with DAPI(blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.
alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP in Human Liver cancer alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver cancer using 15 µg/mL Chicken anti-Human/ Rat alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1369) overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.
Detection of Human alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP by Simple WesternTM. Simple Western lane view shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP at approximately 70 kDa (as indicated) using 2 µg/mL of Chicken Anti-Human/Rat alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1369) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Chicken IgY Secondary Antibody. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.
alpha ‑Fetoprotein/AFP Specificity is Shown by Immunocytochemistry in Knockout Cell Line. a-Fetoprotein/AFP was detected in immersion fixed HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line but is not detected in a-Fetoprotein/AFP knockout (KO) HepG2 Human Cell Line cell line using Chicken Anti-Human/Rat a-Fetoprotein/AFP Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1369) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 493-conjugated Anti-Chicken IgY Secondary Antibody (green; Catalog # NL018) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: alpha-Fetoprotein/AFP
alpha ‑Fetoprotein is a major plasma protein in the fetus. Its concentration is normally low in the adult except when produced by certain tumors.
