| Summary: | The present invention is directed to isothermal transcription based assays for the detection and quantification of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) mRNA. The present invention is also directed to oligonucleotides for amplifying AFP mRNA and probes for use in the detection and quantification of the amplification product. The present invention is also directed to detecting hepatocellular carcinoma, metastasis thereof and tumor recurrence by analyzing peripheral blood for the presence of AFP mRNA. |
