Mucosal biopsies were taken from 20 ears with secretory otitis media (glue ear) and histochemical stainings were made for comparison with data obtained from biochemical analysis of the fluids. Acid phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LD), and malate dehydrogenase (MD), the activity of which in the ear fluids was 20 to 30 times higher than in serum, were found to appear as strong precipitates in the middle ear epithelium, particularly in the top layer. Alkaline phosphatase activity was only exceptionally seen in the epithelium but appeared in the capillaries and histiocytes. Nonspecific esterase appeared irregularly in the epithelium and regularly in histiocytes. The latter two had lower activities in ear fluids than in serum. Epithelial secretory cells and subepithelial glands and cysts showed strong alcian blue (AB)-positive staining. Positive material appeared also in the cytoplasm of the epithelial cells and in the intercellular substance. Distinct PAS-positive staining appeared in the columnar epithelium and particularly in the free mucus on top of the epithelium but was less promounced in the glandular structures and absent from the cysts.

An investigation into isoenzymic analysis using four different buffer/gel systems was carried out. Fourteen different isoenzyme systems were surveyed on each buffer/gel system. It is shown that comparable results are not obtained between different systems. Previous workers in Cepaea nemoralis have used different buffer/gel systems from one another. Alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase and certain lactate and malate dehydrogenases are shown to behave similarly in three different systems. It is tentatively suggested that these isoenzymes may be genetically identical. "Nothing dehydrogenase" activity is demonstrated in gels stained for other dehydrogenases. It is suggested that nothing dehydrogenase activity may be attributable to glutamate or malate dehydrogenase.

The structure and histochemistry of the palmar and plantar skin were studied in four adult male marmosets (two Callithrix jacchus and two Callithrix penicillata). In this skin there exist well-developed epidermal ridges, to which are attached one or two ducts of sweat glands. A thick stratum corneum can be seen in the epidermis, while a distinct stratum lucidum cannot be isolated from the other layers. The stratum granulosum is constituted by one or three layers of cells containing keratohyalin granules. Melanin granulations are mainly concentrated in the basal cells of the epidermal ridges. Dendritic melanocytes and amelanotic melanocytes containing alkaline phosphatase are found among the epidermal cells. Glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylases are mainly present in the middle and lower Malpighian cells of the epidermal ridges. Alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, alanyl amino-peptidase and leucine aminopeptidase were absent in the epidermal cells. SDH, cytochrome oxidase, MAO and a certain number of NAD-dependent dehydrogenases (LDH, ADH, MDH, alpha-GPDH, beta-OHBDH and GDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the basal cells and Malpighian layer. The NADP-dependent enzymes (G-6-PDH, 6-PGDH, cis-aconistase and ICDH) were more reactive in the upper Malpighian layer and stratum granulosum. The stratum corneum showed some acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase reactivity. The collagenous fibers intertwined with a small number of very thin elastic ones and a larger amount of reticular fibers run almost parallel to the epidermal ridges in the papillary body. In the reticular dermis some fibers are disposed transversely to the epidermal ridges. Meissner corpuscles reactive to butyrylcholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, nonspecific esterase and G-6-PA are disposed at regular intervals and frequently at each side of the epidermal ridges. Pacinian corpuscles were found only in the hypodermis. The eccrine sweat glands contain glycogen, UDPG-GT and phosphorylase in their secretory, ductal and myoepithelial cells. The secretory part shows a uniform reactivity for every dehydrogenase because it contains only one type of cells (clear cells). The intraepidermal segment of the ducts shows a stronger reactivity to nonspecific esterase and NADP-dependent dehydrogenases than the epithelial cells around it.

Gynogentic and androgenetic progeny appeared in crosses between white amur, Ctenopharyngodon idella, and carp, Cyprinus carpio. Hemoglobin, plasma general proteins, and plasma isoenzymes were studied by electrophoresis to determine inheritance patterns. Electrophoretic bands indicated that gynogenetic white amur had no paternal inheritance from carp and that adrogenetic white amur also were pure white amur. Gynogeneiss in carp was confirmed by the absence of paternal inheritance. Hemoglobins, general proteins, and esterases distinguished the two species. Within a species there were no differences in proteins between gynogenetic, adrogenetic and normal fish. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) differed between carp and white amur and was a good marker for detecting heterologous inheritance in adrogenesis or gynogenesis because expression of LDH alleles from white amur was inhibited by the carp genome. Alkaline phosphatase and malate dehydrogenase had similar electrophoretic mobility in the two species.

Alkaline phosphatase (Alp), esterase-I (Es-I), esterase-II (Es-II), carbonic anhydrase (CA), cell esterase (cEs), esterase-D (Es-D), isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICD), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (PGD), tetrazolium oxidase (To), ceruloplasmin (Cp), Haptoglobin (Hp) and hemoglobin (Hb) in 58-75 samples of three species of tamarins (Saguinus mystax, S. labiatus and S. oedipus) were detected by means of horizontal starch gel electrophoresis. Two types (Es-I 1 and Es-I 2) for Es-I, four types (Es-II 1, Es-II 2, Es-II 3 and Es-II 2-3) for Es-II, three types (cEs 1, cEs 2 and cEs 1-2) for cEs, three types (PGD 1, PGD 2 and PGD 1-2) for PGD, two types (To 1 and To 2) for To, and three types (Hp 3, Hp 1-3 and Hp 2-3) for Hp were observed. However, Alp, CA, Es-D, ICD, MDH, Cp and Hb were monomorphic. In the S. mystax, no Es-II or PGD variants were observed. No Es-II variant was seen in the S. oedipus. Gene frequencies of cEs, PGD and Hb were biased in the three species. It is concluded that six polymorphic loci are useful as genetic markers for a species or individual.

Enzyme histochemical methods were performed on sporozoite infected liver tissue of rats in order to gain insight into the nutrition and metabolism of exoerythrocytic forms of Plasmodium berghei. The following enzymes were demonstrated in the hepatocytic stages of the parasites, obtained 41 and 48 h after inoculation of sporozoites: acid phosphatase, cytochrome oxidase, NADH-tetrazolium reductase, succinate dehydrogenase, NAD+ and NADP+ dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, NADP+-dependent malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenases, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenases and alpha-glycerol-phosphate dehydrogenase. The results suggest that a conventional Embden-Meyerhoff pathway, pentose phosphate pathway and Krebs' citric acid cycle may in part be present in these exoerythrocytic parasites. Alkaline phosphatase, nucleoside polyphosphatase, 5' nucleotidase, glucose-6-phosphatase, alpha-glucan phosphorylase, NAD+ dependent malate dehydrogenase, amino-peptidase M and non-specific esterases were not detected by our techniques in the parasite. The enzyme distribution of this intrahepatocytic malaria parasite revealed by histochemistry is compared with the enzyme distribution in the other phases of the parasite's life cycle.

Reference intervals for some clinical chemistry parameters in the marmoset were calculated. The effects of age (250-300 days compared with 500-550 days) and sex on the values found was investigated. Alkaline phosphatase levels decreased with age, young males having higher plasma levels than young females, but no sex differences were discernible for older animals. Levels of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and sorbitol dehydrogenase were higher in older males than in younger females. Higher plasma iron levels were found in the males with increasing age. Age and sex effects for protein and albumin were interactive and further interpretation was therefore difficult. No significant age or sex effects were seen for cholinesterase, acetylcholinesterase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase, aspartate amino transferase, alanine aminotransferase or bilirubin.

Polymorphonuclear leucocytes were isolated from pig blood relatively free from other cells and were characterised biochemically and morphologically and compared with human PMNLs. The activities of 16 enzymes of porcine and human PMNLs were measured and compared. Alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, phosphodiesterase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, malate dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase had higher specific activities in procine than in human cells. Alkaline phosphatase has an 87-fold higher specific activity in porcine than in human cells. beta-glucuronidase, lysozyme, beta-galactosidase, N-acetyl-glucosaminidase, beta-glucosidase, myeloperoxidase and catalase had higher specific activities in human than in porcine cells. beta-glucuronidase and myeloperoxidase showed over a 1000- and a 13-fold higher specific activity, respectively, in human than in porcine cells. Porcine PMNLs are readily available in large numbers and are recommended for studies of phagocytosis, chemotaxis and membrane biochemistry.

Activities of 14 enzymes were determined in psoas muscle, smooth muscle, diaphragm, heart, brain, liver, kidney, spleen, pancreas, salivary glands, zygomatic gland, intestinal mucosa, subcellular fractions, and plasma of the dog. In pups, plasma activity of most enzymes was high, except iditol dehydrogenase (ID), glutamate dehydrogenase (GLD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and D-fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (ALS). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), ALS, cholinesterase (CHS), creatine kinase (CK), alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBD), lactate dehydrogenase (LD), and malate dehydrogenase (MD) decreased significantly (P less than 0.01) with increasing age, but in dogs greater than 7 months, all enzymes except CK, HBD, and ALT revealed reasonably constant plasma values. Enzymes ALT, GLD, CHS, and ID are specific for liver, CK and ALS for muscle, HBD to some degree for myocardium, and alpha-amylase for pancreas. The ALP and gamma-glutamyltransferase were located in microsomes, GLD in mitochondria, MD and AST in mitochondria and cytoplasm, and isocitric dehydrogenase, LD, and the other enzymes only in cytoplasm.

Portions of jejunal biopsies from control subjects and from patients with coeliac disease were cultured for 24 hours using an in vitro organ culture technique. Alkaline phosphatase activity was measured in the tissue and medium before and after culture; enzyme activities were expressed per microgram tissue DNA. The increase in enzyme activity during the culture period was taken to represent net enzyme synthesis. Alkaline phosphatase synthesis by mucosa from patients with untreated gluten-sensitive coeliac disease and by mucosa from patients with non-responsive coeliac disease was significantly less than that by normal mucosa. Alkaline phosphatase synthesis by mucosa from patients with treated gluten-sensitive coeliac disease was greater than that by untreated coeliac mucosa but was less than normal mucosa. Sequential studies of alkaline phosphatase synthesis by jejunal mucosa from seven patients with coeliac disease, before and after successful treatment by gluten withdrawal, showed an increase in synthesis in all patients. Study, by analytical subcellular fractionation with sucrose density gradient centrifugation, of the properties of the organelles of cultured control tissue showed good preservation of their integrity. A striking finding, however, was the decrease in malate dehydrogenase with a corresponding marked increase in lactate dehydrogenase. This would be expected to be followed by a shift from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. Analytical subcellular fractionation of cultured mucosa from patients with coeliac disease gave similar conclusions. There was, however, a marked improvement of the brush border abnormalities, characteristic of coeliac disease, during culture with increased enzyme activities and membrane equilibrium density in the sucrose gradients.
