title: Heterogeneity of acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase, and alpha-naphthyl-acetate esterase in normal and leukaemic lymphocytes.
abstract: Comparative study of isoenzymic patterns of acid phosphatase, beta-glucuronidase and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase of normal and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) lymphocytes was carried out by means of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isoenzymograms of acid phosphatase and beta-glucuronidase of leukaemic cells were similar to that of normal lymphocytes. However, different patterns were found in the case of alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase. Two prominent anodal bands were present in CLL lymphocytes; these bands were either absent or very weak in normal cells.
