Disclosed is a monoclonal antibody reactive with a glycopeptide shown in (a), and not reactive with a glycopeptide shown in (b) 

Method for detecting AFP

Disclosed is a monoclonal antibody reacting with a glycopeptide, wherein the glycopeptide contains a core fucose moiety and at least 4 contiguous amino acid residues that are located on the C-terminal side of a glycosylated asparagine moiety, and both of the core fucose moiety in the glycopeptide and an amino acid residue that is located apart by at least three amino acid residues from the C-terminal of the glycosylated asparagine moiety in the glycopeptide are epitopes for the antibody.
