alpha-Fetoprotein gene sequences mediating Afr2 regulation during liver regeneration.
alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) gene expression occurs in the yolk sac, in the fetal liver and gut, and in the adult liver during regeneration and tumorigenesis. Two unlinked genes determine the level of AFP gene expression in adult mice: Afr1 regulates the basal level of expression in the normal adult liver, and Afr2 regulates the increase in expression during liver regeneration. It has been shown tha...
متن کاملAdult hepatic cavernous haemangioma with highly elevated alpha-fetoprotein.
A 35-year-old Chinese man presented with dull pain in the right hypochondrial region for the previous 2 months. Laboratory examination revealed that his serum alpha-fetoprotein level was 1890 microg/L (reference range, 0-20 microg/L), and computed tomographic scan showed a hypodense lesion in the left liver lobe. At laparotomy, a dark reddish soft tumour (3.0 x 3.5 cm in diameter) was found in ...
متن کاملMONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a serum glycoprotein belonging to the onco-developmental proteins group, serves as a marker both in cancer research and in studies concerning fetal development and fetal pathophysiology. Monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies are essential reagents in developing appropriate techniques for measurement of this protein. In this study, in order to produce anti-AFP monoclonal a...

متن کاملMaternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein Screening
Background: The maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein test (MSAFP) was developed to screen for neural tube defects. Little is known about the adoption of the MSAFP test. This study examines the effect of provider specialty and geographic location and patient insurance status on MSAFP test use in Washington State. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of MSAFP use in low-risk obstetric p...
