Abstract:
Using highly purified Con. A extracted from Vie seeds of canavalina ensiformis in Vietnam to make Con. A – Sepharose 4B affinity column for the expression of serum AFP and other Glycoprotein in patients which liver and breast cancer showed a high specific interaction between lectin Con. A and AFP as well as some pathological glycoprotein. That was the mainly basis for our later research on marking lectin affinity AFP in early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, especially in patients at high risk such as chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis.
