[Comparison of enzyme activity in two insect cell lines: Anthera eucalypti and Malacosoma disstria (Lepidoptera)]

A new micromethod has been used to compare the enzymic profiles of two cell lines of Lepidoptera (Antheraea eucalypti and Malacosoma disstria). Differences are observed on alkaline phosphatase, on two aminopeptidases, on alpha and beta galactosidases and on alpha mannosidase. The whole intracellular activity of the enzymes revealed is detected without any previous treatment of the cells.
