[Variability of alkaline phosphatase activity in diploid human cells in vitro]

Experiments were made with 19 strains obtained from different tissues (skin, lungs, muscles) of 8-10-week-old medical abortions and skin biopsies of healthy donors to study the manifestations of alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity in human diploid cells in vitro. Based on the data obtained it is concluded that AP activity is marked by demonstrable intra- and interstrain variability. The spectrum of "AP activity" trait variability is broader for transformed cells than for human diploid cells.
