Detection of lectin-reactive alpha-fetoprotein and its clinical value / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the clinical value of lectin reactive alpha fetoprotein(AFP) detection in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) and benign liver diseases.Methods:According to the different affinity with AFP, AFP L 3 was detected by affinity immunoelectrophoresis blotting method, AFP detected by Chemiluminescent Immunoassay.Results:Taking AFP L 3≥15% as the diagnosis criteria of PHC,the sensitivity was 91.1%,the specificity in differential diagnosis in chronical liver diseases was 95.0%,the levels of AFP L 3 has no correlation to serum AFP levels and the sizes of PHC.Conclusion:It is of great clinical value to detect AFP L 3 and serum AFP levels for PHC in early diagnosis and benign differential diagnosis in liver diseases.
