Phase specific proteins in human malignant neoplasms
Abstract
This is a review of the following human gene products which appear in the prenatal period, subsequently are repressed, and reappear in malignant neoplasms: alpha fetal protein; carcinoembryonic antigen; Regan's isoenzyme; fetal sulfoglycoprotein; a fetal liver ferroprotein; beta-S-fetoprotein; gamma-fetoprotein; carcinofetal glial antigen; leukemoembryonic antigens; fetal pancreatic carcinoma antigens; universally reacting oncofetal antigens; and potential oncofetal markers.
