Differential Action of Neuraminidase on Human Serum Alkaline Phosphatases

Abstract

BOYER1 noted that blood serum from normal adults produced in starch-gel zymograms one or two major zones of phosphatase activity between the transferrin and the haptoglobin 1–1 regions. Occasionally there was also a faint band near the origin. Similar patterns were later reported by other investigators2–5.
