    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_protein

    α-FetoProtein (AFP) is part of the α1 globulin family of proteins. Alpha globulins are round transport proteins that have a wide variety of functions. Human AFP is produced in the liver, yolk sac, and GI tract of a fetus and dispersed into plasma. The mother of the fetus also obtains AFP directly from the fetus. [8]

    Substrate reduction therapy is FDA approved and there is at least one treatment available on the market. [10] Gene therapy aims to replace a missing protein in the body through the use of vectors, usually viral vectors. [11] In gene therapy, a gene encoding for a certain protein is inserted into a vector. [11]

  6. Elevated alpha-fetoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_alpha-fetoprotein

    Elevated alpha-fetoprotein refers to a state where alpha-fetoprotein levels are outside of the reference range. There are two categories of AFP tests: tests performed on serum (blood plasma), and tests performed on amniotic fluid. Tests performed on serum are further categorized by the reason for performing the test: maternal serum, adult tumor ...

    M5A-DOTA was coupled with 225-Ac , which is an alpa emitter, and an in vivo study was performed where cytokine therapy was combined with a-therapy. [30] The result of the study revealed the benefit of combining these two treamtents. Based on the results of this study, an ongoing clinical phase I study is currently underway (NCT05204147).

  8. Hepatoblastoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatoblastoma

    The most common method of testing for hepatoblastoma is a blood test checking the alpha-fetoprotein level. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is used as a biomarker to help determine the presence of liver cancer in children. At birth, infants have relatively high levels of AFP, which fall to normal adult levels by the second year of life.
