The prevalence of variant alkaline phosphatase in the serum of 335 southern African blacks with hepatocellular carcinoma was determined using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isoenzyme was detected in 2% (seven of 335) of the patients: it could not be found in the serum of 300 matched, health

Abstract
Alphaβfetoprotein and variant alkaline phosphatase were studied in a group of patients with hepatoma. The incidence of positive alphaβfetoprotein was 67.6% in confirmed cases. Variant alkaline phosphatase was present only in patients with positive fetoprotein test, and it appeared in only 28.6% of the cases.
