Abstract
A method is introduced for the assay of alkaline phosphatase in homogenates of cultured human skin fibroblasts. In a first group of 11 strains, a four- to fifteen-fold increase of enzyme activity is consistently observed following a period of starvation. In the remaining 31 cell-strains similar specific activities of alkaline phosphatase are found irrespective of medium changes. In regularly fed cultures, an inverse exponential correlation between the specific activity of alkaline phosphatase and the age of the donor has been detected.Entities:
