We adapted a method for evaluating monoclonal antibody specificity toward isoforms and examined 29 alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antibodies from Hybritech. These antibodies were separated by affinity electrophoresis on agarose-containing erythroagglutinating phytohemagglutinin (PHA-E) followed by immunobl
Transforming growth factor u (TGFn) is alleged to play a role in malignant progression as well as normal cell growth in an autocrine manner and its serum levels have been reported to increase during this progression. Most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) develop in cirrhotic livers in which hepatocyt
The aim of this study was to elucidate the usefulness of measuring the fucosylation index (FI) of ␣-fetoprotein (AFP) before the initiation of therapy as a new prognostic indicator for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ## METHODS. One hundred twelve patients with HCC who underwent tran
