title: The application of photobleaching to sequential staining of antigen-antibody precipitates in gels for prostatic acid phosphatase and protein.
abstract: A modified procedure is described for the sequential staining of agar precipitates of seminal plasma and antiseminal plasma serum for acid phosphatase and total protein. The procedure employs Gomori's glycerophosphate-lead sulphide method for acid phosphatase, ultraviolet light for photobleaching and amidoschwartz for total protein staining. In a single agar diffusion plate, a minimum of 7 protein bands was observed, 3 of which contained acid phosphatase activity.
