The rate of catabolism of purified radiolabeled α1-fetoprotein (α1F) ( t ½, 1.1 days) and albumin ( t ½, 2.2 days) is the same in normal rats with a mean α1F serum concentration of 0.054 µg/ml and in rats bearing 2- to 5-g tumors of Morris hepatoma 7777 that have a mean serum concentration of 46 µg/ml, almost 1000 times normal. A decreased rate of catabolism of both α1F (1.3 days) and albumin (3.2 days) is found in rats with large tumors (serum α1F concentrations, 7800 µg/ml) just prior to death. The rising serum α1F concentration in hepatoma-bearing animals cannot be explained by decreased catabolism but is due to rapid synthesis by the hepatoma tissue. Because of the fast t 1/2 of 1 day, the serum α1F concentration accurately reflects the presence and condition of α1F-producing tumors in the rat.
