Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a structural serum glycoprotein that plays vital roles in reproduction and mammalian development. Analysis of serum prolactin (PRL) is considered one of the useful methods for diagnosing pregnancy in Asian elephants. However, the expression profiles of AFP in pregnant and nonpregnant Asian elephants remain unclear, nor is the relationship with PRL.

Quantitative biomacromolecular diagnosis is rapidly developing in molecular oncology. In this study, we developed a continuous flow immunoassay device based on a piezoelectric (PZ) quartz crystal biosensor fabricated with whole-electrode occupation for the quantitative molecular diagnosis of tumor markers such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). Only one face of the crystal was in contact with the serum sample during the assays.

Immuno-mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful method for the quantitative analysis of low-abundance proteins in biological specimens. In these procedures, collecting specifically and efficiently the target protein antigens from the antigen-antibody complex generated on the surface of nanocarrier beads is crucial and can be performed by hydrolyzing the proteins directly on the beads or after elution. Herein, we optimized the conditions of the immunoaffinity purification via elution using serum α-fetoprotein (AFP) as a model and its specific antibody immobilized covalently on magnetic beads.

The rapid and accurate detection of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels is of great significance for the diagnosis and later treatment evaluation of liver cancer. In this study, a novel integrated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) immunosensor based on the design to contact liquids on one side only was developed for the label-free detection of AFP. Anti-AFP mouse monoclonal antibodies were immobilized onto the upper electrode surface of the pre-treatment crystals using the staphylococcus aureus protein A.
