Abstract

Increases of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) in the serum of children affected by Dengue hemorrhagic fever were detected by a colorimetric method. Immunochemical and electrophoretic methods confirmed that this increased enzyme activity is identical to that of isoenzyme 5b of osteoclasts. Ion-exchange column chromatography separated the serum acid phosphatase into two components with identical antigenicity, substrate specificity, and electrophoretic mobility. They differ in molecular size.
