蛋白结构(Molecular Characterization)
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus
The protein has a calculated MW of 68.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 70-75 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
内毒素(Endotoxin)
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
纯度(Purity)
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
制剂(Formulation)
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

背景(Background)
Alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) is the first tumor marker with clinical application value found by human. AFP has an ability to induce the immune escapes through inhibiting the function of dendritic cells, natural killer cells, and T lymphocytes. By in vitro modification, the immunogenicity and immune response of AFP could be enhanced. AFP-modified immune cell vaccine or peptide vaccine has displayed the specific antitumor immunity against AFP-positive tumor cells and laid a better foundation for the immunotherapy of liver cancer. Alpha-fetoprotein is found in monomeric as well as dimeric and trimeric forms, and binds copper, nickel, fatty acids and bilirubin. The level of alpha-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid is used to measure renal loss of protein to screen for spina bifida and anencephaly.
