Factor suppressing α-foetoprotein production in newborn mice
α-FoETOPROTEiN (AFP) is one of the main proteins of embryonic serum. Its synthesis begins in the yolk sac continues in embryonic liver and terminates in mice and rats at the beginning of the postnatal period 1,2 . Presumably a powerful suppression factor acts on AFP production by embryonic liver cel...
