The difference between the Type I and Type II Asialofetuin products does not represent any kind of biochemical or functional difference. These indicate different methods of production and purification. The Type II option, product A1908, utilizes neuraminadase in an enzymatic cleavage step. The Type I, product A4781, utilizes a proprietary modification of that described in Spiro, R.G., J. Biol. Chem., 235, 2860 (1960).

Application
Asialofetuin from fetal calf serum is suitable for use:
Incorporation of asialofetuin (AF) in liposomes strongly enhance delivery to and endocytosis by cells displaying the AF receptor, notably hepatocytes. This provides a very efficient route for gene therapy.
