title: [Acid phosphatase activity in cultures of glial tumors].
abstract: With 18 glial brain tumours serving as a base material the activity of acid phosphatase was studied dynamically in the course of cultivation. The enzyme is demonstrable both in differentiated and actively proliferating cells, as well as in those showing signs of dystrophy. The enzyme was found to display chiefly a moderate activity in monomorphic tumour cells, its content being higher in atypical neoplastic cells. A significantly rising activity of the acid phosphatase was discovered in cells presenting dystrophic and necrobiotic alterations.
