Background Information
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is one of the earliest proteins to be synthesised by the embryonic liver. The synthesis of AFP decreases dramatically after birth and only trace amounts are expressed in the adult liver. High serum AFP concentrations are also found in connection with primary liver cancer and teratocarcinoma.
