[Histochemical demonstration of the zinc activated tartrate resistant phosphatase (ZnTP) in the glial reaction of rat brains following stabbing injuries (author's transl)].

Abstract

ZnTP shows a characteristic pattern of activity in experimentally induced cerebral tumours of rats. Our previous investigations demonstrated a high activity of this enzyme in astrocytomas and in blood vessels within the tumours. The question arose, whether the increased activity is specific for tumours of astrocytic origin or occurs in reactive astrocytic proliferations as well. The present investigation is aimed at the elucidation of this problem.
