Detection of alpha-foetoprotein messenger RNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma tissue.
Alpha-foetoprotein (AFP) synthesis, although repressed in normal adults, is increased in the majority of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We have investigated whether active transcription of the AFP gene may explain raised serum AFP concentrations in patients with HCC and hepatoblastoma...
