title: A method for the identification and detection of alpha-fetoprotein.
abstract: This paper describes the detection and identification of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) using a simple, economical, time saving and sensitive method. Twelve serum samples can be evaluated at the same time. Antigens are precipitated within 45--60 minutes on a cellulose acetate membrane by counter-immunoelectrophoresis. This method was used with great success for the testing of 14,240 serum samples.
