The effect of alpha fetoprotein on NF-κB translocation in lipopolysaccharide induced monocyte-derived dendritic cell
<p><strong>Background:</strong> Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a tumor-associated Ag that has a function in both ontogenic and oncogenic growth and its serum level is elevated in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A recent study showed that the immunoregulatory effect of AFP...
