Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) delivers ligands to monocytes/macrophages that regulate the
immune system activity. AFP or AFP-drugs can be used to treat autoimmune diseases, while …

Alpha-fetoprotein is a shuttle protein that delivers nutrients through receptor-mediated
endocytosis to embryotic cells. In adults, alpha-fetoprotein can shuttle drugs into alpha …

The inefficiency of the immune system to kill cancer cells leads to the disease. Like in
pregnancy, oncofetal proteins counteract the immune attack. Alpha-fetoprotein is an …

Human α-fetoprotein (AFP) purified from human amniotic fluid was investigated for its effect
on human monocytoid cell lines, including U 937 cells with established subclones. The …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) has long been associated with regulation and modulation of the
immune system in a variety of mammals. In the last several decades, AFP has been linked to …

The various immunological roles of human alpha-fetoprotein (HAFP) and its correlation with
hepatomas, ie, hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), are not always addressed together in the …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) serves as a shuttle delivery protein to the AFP receptorpositive
embryo and cancer cells. By delivering nutrients through receptor-mediated endocytosis …

Background Human alpha-fetoprotein (hAFP) is a glycoprotein derived from the gut
entoderm and expressed sequentially by cells of the yolk sac, fetal liver, and gastrointestinal …

During the past 10 years, progress in protein research has been impressive, including
investigation in isolation, purification, structure determination and synthesis. Many of these …

Alpha-fetoprotein is an oncofetal protein the embryo produces during fetal development. The
protein serves two critical functions simultaneously: it delivers nutrients to growing embryo …
