Light microscope and electron microscope alkaline phosphatase cytochemistry of rat bone marrow leukocytes

DM Williams, R Gillett and JE Linder

An enzyme cytochemical method yielding an osmiophilic reaction product, visible at both the light and electron microscope levels, has been applied to the study of alkaline phosphatase in rat bone marrow cells. The enzyme is present in both eosinophils and, in much smaller amounts, in neutrophils. In both cases it is present on the plasma membrane, and in eosinophils intracellular aggregations of reaction product are also seen. The specific granules in both cell types fail to react and the enzyme is first detectable at the promyelocyte stage. Thus the enzyme is demonstrable before specific granule formation begins in the neutrophil, indicating that they are not a significant site of alkaline phosphatase activity in the rat.
