## Abstract The screening of a series of 11 metastatic breast tumors for the presence of the placental isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1) by RIA revealed one strong producer. The alkaline phosphatase of this tumor was characterized with respect to its immunochemical cross‐reactivity, in

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (H317) with specificity for the heat‐stable placental‐type alkaline phosphatase (Pl‐ALP) isoenzyme has been used to investigate the occurrence of Pl‐ALP in patients with primary breast carcinoma. All pre‐operative plasma samples were negtive for Pl‐ALP in a sensitive solid‐phase enzyme immunoassay with a lower limit of detection of 0.1 U/I. In contrast, using a peroxidase‐anti‐peroxidase staining technique on fixed tissue sections, as well as enzyme immunoassay on fresh tissue extracts, Pl‐ALP could be demonstrated in the carcinomatous tissue of all seven patients investigated.

## Abstract Very high levels of placental‐like alkaline phosphatases (PLAP‐like enzymes) were observed in tissues from 13 typical seminomas. Four tumors with seminoma components contained these enzymes to varying degrees, and other testicular tumors had them in smaller or non‐detectable amounts. An
Human placental alkaline phosphatase is a membrane-anchored dimeric protein. Unfolding of the enzyme by guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) caused a decrease of the fluorescence intensity and a large red-shifting of the protein fluorescence maximum wavelength from 332 to 346 nm. The fluorescence changes we
