Abstract

A method is described for measuring human alpha-fetoprotein concentration (AFP) in amniotic fluid by laser immunonephelometry showing results comparable with those obtained by radioimmunoassay. Advantages gained with the laser technique lie in its simplicity as a method which avoids use of radioactive materials, a more rapid 2 h turnaround time and a relatively small capital equipment outlay with minimal operating costs. Laser immunonephelometry appears to be an excellent alternative to radioimmunoassay for measuring AFP in amniotic fluid.
