Serum placental type alkaline phosphatase in cigarette smokers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
By means of enzyme immunoassays based on two monoclonal antibodies with specificities for distinct forms of placental type alkaline phosphatase (Pl-ALP), together with L-leucine inhibition studies, it has been possible to distinguish the Nagao type carcinoplacental enzyme from other placental type alkaline phosphatases. This approach has shown that it is the Nagao type (placental like) enzyme which is detectable in small amounts in the plasma of healthy individuals, particularly cigarette smokers.

Macromolecular alkaline phosphatase and an immunoglobulin G that inhibited alkaline phosphatase in a patient's serum.
Macromolecular alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) was found in the serum of a patient suffering from myasthenia gravis (adult type II) complicated with thymoma, and was shown by immunoelectrophoresis to be bound to immunoglobulins A and G (IgG). Placental alkaline phosphatase, complexed with either the patient's serum or IgG purified from the patient's serum, remained at the origin on electropho...

We compared an alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) isoenzyme from a plasma sample of a patient with carcinoma of the lung, who was suspected of having the Regan-type isoenzyme, with placental serum alkaline phosphatase and with tissue preparations from placenta, liver, bone, and intestine. The placental and Regan phosphatases responded similarly to heat treatment and modification by various inhib...

A very rapid method of agar gel electrophoresis on glass slides, together with a superior visualization technique employing simultaneous coupling of a hydrolysed naphthol substrate, have been developed for the identification of the tissues of origin of serum alkaline phosphatase. Combined with L-phenylalanine inhibition, specific for the intestinal enzyme, and heat inactivation, specific for th...
متن کاملSerum heat-stable alkaline phosphatase in pregnancy.
It is generally recognized that a dependable test of placental function is one of the most urgent needs in obstetrics. The advantages of using various placental enz,ymes as an index of placental function were found in the fact that their measurements are simple procedures. Coryn (1934) showed for the first time that serum alkaline phosphatase is elevated in late pregnancy. Serum alkaline phosph...

The alkaline phosphatase activity expressed by JAR choriocarcinoma cells was compared to the placental isoenzyme of human alkaline phosphatase by several criteria. JAR cell alkaline phosphatase was similar to the placental isoenzyme with respect to heat and urea stability and sensitivity to most inhibitors, but it differed significantly from placental alkaline phosphatase in its sensitivity to ...
