Phosphates of the naphthol AS series in the quantitative determination of alkaline and acid phosphatase activities “in situ” studied in polyacrylamide membrane model systems and by cytospectrophotometry

Summary Histochemical media for the demonstration of alkaline and acid phosphatases using phosphates of naphthol AS series as the substrates and various diazonium salts as the couplers were tested in the capability of reflecting various levels of enzyme activities.Polyacrylamide membranes with incorporated enzymes (various concentrations of purified enzymes as well as of sonicated leucocytes, macrophages and of sonicated homogenates of various organs) were used as model systems in which the activity was estimated both with biochemical and with histochemical methods. Parallel experiments were performed in sedimentation chamber preparations of guinea-pig leucocytes and macrophages in which the activity was demonstrated with the same media as in polyacrylamide films. The quantitative measurements were performed in a cytospectrophotometer using the two-wavelength method.Increasing the substrate concentration which in standard histochemical media has been 1/8 mg per ml more azo-dye is produced in the reactions for both phosphatases. If the substrate concentration is higher than 1/2 mg per ml the standard concentration of the diazonium salt (1 mg per ml) becomes insufficient for an effective capturing of the released naphthol AS in the reaction for alkaline phosphatase. Due to a very high inhibitoty effect in the case of most commercially available diazonium salts the increase of their concentration annules the beneficial action of an increased substrate concentration on the azo-dye production. 4-amino-diphenylamine diazonium sulfate has an exceptional position because it was not inhibitory even in the concentration of 4 mg/ml.In the case of acid phosphatase the higher substrate concentration was incompatible with the use of Past Red Violet LB. Hexazo-p-rosanilin was an efficient and the most chromogenic coupler used in simultaneous as well as in postincubation coupling. With the latter localization is possible on the cellular (not subcellular) level.More chromogenic combinations are generally better for the cytospectrophotometrical measurement. The shape of extinction curves of azo-dyes produced with combinations studied was similar in models and in smears. In many combinations it was dependent on the presence of lipoproteins. A too steep decline of some curves prevented the use of some combinations in alkaline phosphatase determination with the two-wavelength method, even if they are very good in the qualitative studies and might be suitable for scanning cytospectrophotometry. p]The shape of extinction curves of azo-dyes produced in the reaction for acid phosphatase using hexazo-p-rosanilin as the coupling agent was independent of the presence of lipoproteins.The curves of azo-dyes produced in simultaneous coupling are not exactly the same as the curves obtained by postincubation coupling.In receipt of a fellowship of Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (Z.W.O.).
