title: Demonstration of species difference of placental alkaline phosphatase isozymes in acetone-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
abstract: The best preservation and discrimination of alkaline phosphatase isozymes by means of amino acid inhibition and heat treatment was obtained in sections of acetone-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues as compared to tissues fixed either in 95% ethanol or standard formalin. The results are illustrated in a study differentiating the isozymes of human and mouse placenta.
